摘要
A vertically integrated latch-up based n-p-n bidirectional diode, which is analogous to an open-base bipolar junction transistor, is demonstrated for bipolar resistance-change memory selector application. A maximum current density of >50 MA/cm(2) and a selectivity of >10(4) are observed at a fast switching speed of within 10 ns. The high selectivity as a consequence of the sudden latch-up process is feasible owing to the positive-feedback process initiated by impact ionization. The optimization of the turn-on voltage is comprehensively investigated by numerical device simulation, which ensures the promising potential of the latch-up based selector device.
