摘要
We have investigated the bilayer structure of binary oxides such as HfOx and ZrOx for applications to resistance memory. The ZrOx/HfOx bilayer structure shows a lower reset current and operating voltage than an HfOx monolayer under dc sweep voltage. Furthermore, the bilayer structure exhibits a tight distribution of switching parameters, good switching endurance up to 10(5) cycles, and good data retention at 85 degrees C. The resistive switching mechanism of memory devices incorporating the ZrOx/HfOx bilayer structure can be attributed to the control of multiple conducting filaments through the occurrence of redox reactions at the tip of the localized filament.
