Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Effect of quality of oxide thin film on resistive switching and conductance quantization properties was studied in two types of resistive switching memory devices, conductive bridging RAM (CBRAM) and valence change memory (VCM). In the CBRAM having Cu or Ag/TaOx thin film/Pt structure, although the resistive switching behavior was not influenced by microstructure of the TaOx thin film, the conductance quantization was most frequently observed in the TaOx film with nano-porous structure. In the VCM having Au/Y2O3-doped ZrO2 (YSZ)/Si structure, 8mol%YSZ epitaxial thin films showed superior resistive switching property. Moreover, the conductance quantization was more frequently observed in the epitaxial thin film.
