    DThis letter investigates the double-ended resistive switching characteristics of indium tin oxide (ITO) resistance random access memory (RRAM). Resistive switching can be achieved around both the active TiN electrode and the inert Pt electrode. In addition, complementary resistance switching (CRS) characteristics can be observed without current compliance during dc voltage sweep operations. Electrical measurement data fitting results indicate that the oxygen-rich ITO near top and bottom electrodes works as a double-ended resistive switching layer. Based on the analysis of the current conduction mechanism, we propose a physical model to interpret the CRS behaviors in ITO RRAM devices.

    In this letter, we demonstrate the differing influences of a nitrogen buffering effect in both the switching layer and the indium-tin-oxide (ITO) electrode layer of resistive random access memory (RRAM) which has undergone an NH3 treatment. The nitrogen buffering effect in the switching layer cannot counteract the electric field force, leading to similar I-V characteristics compared with the ITO/Hf:SiO2/TiN control structure RRAM. The nitrogen in the ITO electrode layer, however, works as an oxygen buffer and makes it easier for the redox reaction to occur, leading to improvements in performance, such as concentrated voltages and better endurance.

    Supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) fluid technology was applied to indium-tin-oxide (ITO) electrode to improve the resistive switching characteristic of silicon oxide RRAM through hydride oxidation for the first time. We found device power consumption can be effectively reduced so that side effects can be also restricted under device operation. By applying SCCO2 fluid, more oxygen ions will be introduced into the ITO electrode and thus the participation of net oxygen ions in the RRAM redox reaction will increase. Fourier transform spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to confirm hydride oxidation on ITO electrode. Combined with the current fitting results, we proposed a reaction model to explain the improvement of resistive switching in RRAM by SCCO2 fluids.

    In this letter, a triple-ion redox reaction has been proposed and investigated in GeSO-based resistance random access memory. Continuous multiresistance states can be obtained by applying a series of increasing cutoff voltages in both set and reset processes. Using data retention tests, these multistates in the set and reset processes were confirmed to be stable. The conduction mechanism gradually changed during reset process from space charge limited current to Schottky emission. A triple-ion reaction model has been proposed to reveal the chemical reaction properties in the resistive switching process.

    We have previously investigated the automatic current compliance property for indium tin oxide (ITO) resistance random access memory (RRAM). Traditionally, for the purpose of protecting RRAM, it is necessary to set equipment current compliance during the set and forming processes of RRAM devices. ITO RRAM devices, however, have an intrinsic capability to limit their current. This letter examines this ITO RRAM current compliance in depth by applying a varied stop-voltage measurement method, where different negative stop voltages were adopted to manipulate oxygen ions. Combined with material analysis and conduction current fitting, a model was established.

    In this letter, we report the oxygen accumulation effect and its influence on resistive switching for gadolinium-doped silicon dioxide (Gd:SiO2) resistance random access memory (RRAM). We find that oxygen absorbance by indium-tin-oxide electrode affects the conduction current mechanism, and remarkably modifies the device performance of RRAM devices. By current fitting, Schottky emission can be observed in both low and high resistance states, from which conduction model is proposed to clarify the oxygen accumulation phenomenon. Reliability tests, including endurance and high temperature retention are further carried out, evaluating the significance of oxygen accumulation effect in redox reaction for RRAM devices.

    We demonstrated that the supercritical CO2 fluid treatment was a new concept to efficiently reduce the operation current of resistance random access memory. The dangling bonds of tin-doped silicon oxide (Sn:SiOx) thin film were passivated by the hydration-dehydration reaction through supercritical CO2 fluid treatment, which was verified by the XPS and FTIR analyses. The current conduction mechanism of low resistance state in post-treated Sn:SiOx thin film was transferred to hopping conduction from Ohmic conduction. Furthermore, the current conduction mechanism of high resistance state in the memory device was transferred to Schottky emission from Frenkel-Poole conduction. The phenomena were attributed to the discontinuous metal filament formed by hydration-dehydration reaction in Sn:SiOx thin film through supercritical fluid treatment. Finally, a reaction model was proposed to explain the mechanism of current reduction in Sn:SiOx thin film with supercritical CO2 fluid treatment. Crown Copyright (C) 2013 Published by Elsevier B.V.

    In this letter, the special role of hydrogen ions in hafnium doped silicon oxide resistive random access memory (RRAM) is presented. In addition to the more typical oxygen ion-dominated resistive switching, hydrogen ions were also observed to trigger a resistance transformation phenomenon, producing a tri-resistive device. Unlike a normal RRAM device, a hydrogen plasma-treated device is operated with a reversed voltage polarity, and the direction of hydrogen ion migration results in the chemical bonds breaking and repairing. By changing the voltage polarity and stop voltage, this tri-resistive behavior can be achieved. This particular hydrogen-induced switching behavior suggests a different RRAM switching mechanism and is finally explained by our model.

    To improve the operation current lowing of the Zr:SiO2 RRAM devices, a space electric field concentrated effect established by the porous SiO2 buffer layer was investigated and found in this study. The resistive switching properties of the low-resistance state (LRS) and high-resistance state (HRS) in resistive random access memory (RRAM) devices for the single-layer Zr:SiO2 and bilayer Zr:SiO2/porous SiO2 thin films were analyzed and discussed. In addition, the original space charge limited current (SCLC) conduction mechanism in LRS and HRS of the RRAM devices using bilayer Zr:SiO2/porous SiO2 thin films was found. Finally, a space electric field concentrated effect in the bilayer Zr:SiO2/porous SiO2 RRAM devices was also explained and verified by the COMSOL Multiphysics simulation model.

    In this letter, a double active layer (Zr:SiO (x) /C:SiO (x) ) resistive switching memory device with outstanding performance is presented. Through current fitting, hopping conduction mechanism is found in both high-resistance state (HRS) and low-resistance state (LRS) of double active layer RRAM devices. By analyzing Raman and FTIR spectra, we observed that graphene oxide exists in C:SiO (x) layer. Compared with single Zr:SiO (x) layer structure, Zr:SiO (x) /C:SiO (x) structure has superior performance, including low operating current, improved uniformity in both set and reset processes, and satisfactory endurance characteristics, all of which are attributed to the double-layer structure and the existence of graphene oxide flakes formed by the sputter process.
