The resistive switching behaviors of sputtered V-doped SrZrO3 (V:SZO) memory films were investigated in this letter. The current states of the memory films were switched between high current state (H-state) and low current state (L-state). The resistance ratio of the two current states was over 1000 at a read voltage. The switching mechanism from L- to H-state corresponds to the formation of current paths. However, this mechanism from H- to L-state is thought to be due to the fact that the defects present in the V:SZO film randomly trap electrons, and hence, the current paths are ruptured. The conduction mechanism of the H-state is dominated by ohmic conduction, whereas the L-state conduction is dominated by Frenkel-Poole emission. The polarity direction of the resistive switching is an intrinsic property of the SrZrO3 oxides. The V:SZO films with high uniformity and good stability are expected to be used in nonvolatile memory.

The resistive switching properties of the sputter-deposited SrZrO(3) (SZO) memory films were investigated in this study. The resistive switching behaviors of the SZO film can be improved by doping with vanadium oxide. The conduction mechanisms of the high and low current states of the 0.3% V-doped SZO (V:SZO) film are ohmic conduction and Frenkel-Poole emission, respectively, which implies the bulk effect of the memory film. The resistive ratio of two current states of the 0.3% V:SZO film remains 1000 times after applying 100 voltage sweeping cycles. Furthermore, the 0.3% V:SZO film shows stable resistive switching properties when measurement is performed at 100 degrees C. The band modulation of the SZO/LNO interface is proposed to explain the forming process of the SZO films. The 0.3% V:SZO memory film has excellent properties, such as high stability, good endurance, and long retention time, which make it a good candidate for next-generation nonvolatile memory application.
