Abstract :Resistive switching characteristics of hafnium oxide are studied for possible nonvolatile memory device applications. The HfOx films with different oxygen contents are deposited by rf magnetron sputtering under different O2 flow rates. The films are amorphous, and the stoichiometric of the film is improved by increasing the O2 flow rate. Current-voltage characteristics of the TiN/HfOx /ITO device are investigated with 1 mA compliance. The bipolar resistive switching behavior is observed for the TiN/HfOx /ITO structure, and the resistive switching mechanism of the TiN/HfOx /ITO structure is explained by trap-controlled space charge limit current conduction.
