This paper reports on the resistive switching behavior and memory effect in an ultrawide-bandgap ferroelectric ScAlN/GaN heterostructure. The structure exhibits stable ON and OFF states that last for months at room temperature, and shows stable operation at high temperatures close to or even above the Curie temperature. The underlying mechanism is directly related to charge reconstruction induced by the ferroelectric field effect at the hetero-interface. The polar heterostructure demonstrates robust resistive switching landscape and electrical polarization engineering capability, and has the potential to integrate with both silicon and GaN technologies, enabling a wide range of multifunctional applications.
Electrically switchable bistable conductance that occurs in ferroelectric materials has attracted growing interest due to its promising applications in data storage and in-memory computing. Sc-alloyed III-nitrides have emerged as a new class of ferroelectrics, which not only enable seamless integration with III-nitride technology but also provide an alternative solution for CMOS back end of line integration. In this paper, the resistive switching behavior and memory effect in an ultrawide-bandgap, high Curie temperature, fully epitaxial ferroelectric ScAlN/GaN heterostructure is reported for the first time. The structure exhibits robust ON and OFF states that last for months at room temperature with rectifying ratios of 60-210, and further shows stable operation at high temperatures (approximate to 670 K) that are close to or even above the Curie temperature of most conventional ferroelectrics. Detailed studies suggest that the underlying mechanism is directly related to a ferroelectric field effect induced charge reconstruction at the hetero-interface. The robust resistive switching landscape and the electrical polarization engineering capability in the polar heterostructure, together with the promise to integrate with both silicon and GaN technologies, can pave the way for next-generation memristors and further enable a broad range of multifunctional and cross-field applications.
