摘要: The preparation and electrical properties of Ti/Co Embedded (Co-E) ZrO(2)/Pt resistive switching memories are investigated. The Co nano-dots are formed in ZrO(2) thin film after the memory device is annealed at 600 degrees C in N(2) ambient for 60 s without any chemical reaction between Co and ZrO(2), which is confirmed from the transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analyzer, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy observations. The devices exhibit low forming voltage of 1.5 similar to 2.8V and robust negative bias unipolar resistive switching behaviors with small negative set voltage of -1.1 similar to-1.6 V. A physical model based on a filament mechanism is employed to explain the switching behaviors. It has a high potential for ultra high density nonvolatile memory applications.
