摘要
Ta2O5/TaOx (oxide/suboxide) heterostructures are fabricated by high fluence O ion-implantation into deposited Ta films. The resultant films are characterized by depth profiling X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM), four-point probe, and current-voltage and capacitance-voltage measurements. The measurements show that Ta2O5/TaOx oxide/suboxide heterostructures can be fabricated with the relative thicknesses of the layers controlled by implantation energy and fluence. Electrical measurements show that this approach has promise for high volume manufacturing of resistive switching memory devices based on oxide/suboxide heterostructures. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.
