Abstract :
Complementary resistive switching (CRS) behavior in a flexible plastic substrate was studied for the first time in this letter. CRS behaviors in Al/Ni/NiAlOx/Al2O3-x/ITO device were demonstrated with excellent performance. A high-resistance ON/OFF ratio (~103), 50-ms switch speed was successfully obtained. In addition, the mechanism of CRS behavior was interpreted by the redistribution of oxygen vacancies in NiAlOx/Al2O3-x stack layers. Such a CRS style flexible RRAM device is a possible solution for future integrated circuits application.
