采用氧化硅材料构建了Cu/SiOx/Al的三明治结构阻变存储器件。用半导体参数分析仪对其阻变特性进行测量,结果表明其具有明显的阻变特性,并且通过调节限制电流,得到了四个稳定的阻态,各相邻阻态的电阻比大于10,并且具有良好的数据保持能力。在不同温度条件下对各个阻态进行电学测试及拟合,明确了不同阻态的电子传输机理不尽相同:阻态1和阻态2为欧姆传导机制,阻态3为P-F (Pool-Frenkel)发射机制,阻态4为肖特基发射机制。根据电子传输机制,建立了铜细丝导电模型并对Cu/SiOx/Al阻变存储器件各个阻态的电致阻变机制进行解释。
In this paper, resistive switching device based on Cu/SiOx/Al structure is fabricated to examine its resistive switch-ing characteristics and explore its resistive switching mechanisms. By adjusting limiting current, four stable resistance states are obtained. All of the resistive ratios between adjacent resistance states are over than 10. Moreover, the reten-tion data of these four states at room temperature keep stable up to 1000 s. The temperature-dependent measurement and I-V curves fitting results show that the resistive switching mechanisms of the four states are different: resistance states 1 and 2 are due to Ohmic conduction mechanism, resistance state 3 is due to Pool-Frenkel emission, and resistance state 4 is due to Schottky emission mechanism. Subsequently, a resistive switching model for Cu/SiOx/Al structure is proposed.
