Resistive switching characteristics and mechanism of lanthanum yttrium oxide (LaYO3) films deposited by RF sputtering for RRAM applications

Chiou-Ru Cheng et al.

Summary: LaYO3 thin films were deposited using RF sputtering, and the resistive switching properties of LaYO3-based RRAM devices were investigated. The study focused on the impact of sputtering time, top electrode materials, deposition conditions, annealing temperature, and annealing processes on the resistive switching characteristics. The research revealed that conductive filaments were mainly controlled by oxygen vacancies, which could be manipulated through the deposition atmosphere and annealing process. The diffusion of In ions from an indium tin oxide substrate into the LaYO3 layer during annealing enhanced the formation of conductive filaments. The Schottky barrier height under different top electrodes and deposition atmospheres also influenced filament formation. Additionally, post-metal annealing helped form an AlOx interface layer, significantly improving the resistive switching performance of LaYO3-based RRAMs. The devices annealed at 400 degrees C exhibited resistive switching characteristics for over 1200 cycles and a R-on/R-off ratio of 103, demonstrating promise for non-volatile memory applications.

Sichen Qin et al.

Summary: This paper establishes a numerical model of filament dissolution caused by the coupling effect of Joule heat and electric field in resistance elements, and explains the influence of the thermal field on the electric field and ion mobility during device setup and reset by solving partial differential equations.

Switching Dynamics of Ag-Based Filamentary Volatile Resistive Switching Devices-Part II: Mechanism and Modeling

Wei Wang et al.

Summary: Understanding the switching and retention processes of the Ag-based metallic filamentary volatile resistive switching devices is crucial for optimizing their performance. The study reveals that the switching process can be modeled by ionic drift under electric field, while the retention process can be modeled by ionic diffusion along the filament surface driven by the gradient of surface atomic concentration. Further theoretical analysis unifies ionic drift and diffusion within the general Einstein relation, and the read voltage dependent retention time is explained by the competition between ionic drift and diffusion flux.
