Resistive switching characteristics of multilayered (HfO2/Al2O3)(n) n=19 thin film

Abstract

A transparent resistive random access memory used as Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) electrode, ITO/HfO2/Al2O3/center dot center dot center dot/HfO2/Al2O3/ITO capacitor structure is fabricated on glass substrate by atomic layer deposition. The unipolar resistive switching characteristics can be performed by applying the positive- or negative-bias through top electrode, however, the differences of switching and stability in the two different operations can be observed. The diversities of electrical property are attributed to different oxide/ITO interface materials, which influence the current flow of the injected electrons.
