Correlation Between Oxygen Composition and Electrical Properties in NiO Thin Films for Resistive Random Access Memory
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
Admittance spectroscopy measurement has been performed on NiOx thin films with various oxygen compositions (x=1.0-1.2) in order to characterize localized defect levels. The activation energy and concentration of localized defect levels in NiOx films with low oxygen composition (x≤1.07) are 120-170 meV and lower than 2×1019 cm-3, respectively. From I-V measurement of the Pt/NiOx/Pt structures, samples with high oxygen composition (x≥1.10) did not show resistance switching operation, while samples with low oxygen composition (x≤1.07) did. The best oxygen composition of NiOx thin films turned out to be 1.07 in order to realize repeatable and stable resistance switching operation.
