The TiOxNy RRAM proposed in this study exhibits prominent WORM characteristics, a wide memory window, good durability, and high read-disturb immunity. Through investigations into material structure, electrical properties, and mechanisms, the electronic transport and RS mechanisms of the RRAM are explored.
A titanium oxynitride (TiOxNy) resistive random-access memory (RRAM) with write-once-read-many-times (WORM) characteristics is proposed. The TiOxNy resistive switching (RS) layer with a thickness of 62 nm was fabricated using a thermal nitridation process of an evaporated Ti metal film. The residual Ti layer with a thickness of 8 nm is used as the bottom contact. The Al/TiOxNy/Ti/n(+)-Si RRAM shows a large memory window of 10(7) at a low read voltage of 0.2 V. Stable high-resistance state (HRS) and low-resistance state (LRS) are observed in the endurance test for 10(4) read cycles. High read-disturb immunity can be found for over 10(4) s. The energy band diagram, carrier conduction and the RS mechanisms of the RRAM are investigated.
