Research Abstract |
Binary Transition Metarl Oxide (TMO)-based Resistive Random Access Memory (ReRAM) has attract much attention as the next-generation nonvolatile memory. However, correlation between fundamental properties and resistive switching characterisitics has never been fully clarified. In the study, we focused on the oxygen composition in oxides and investigated the effects on the resistive switching characteristics. We revealed that the formation of conductive filaments at forming process in Pt/NiO/Pt stack structures follows a weakest link theory, and that residual compressive stress in NiO thin films and forming voltage in the structures increaseed with increasing oxygen composition in NiO. Furthermore, NiO thickness dependence indicated the existence of thinner layer in which a conductive path percolates by applying voltage at forming process.
