  • Abstract
    We report the impact of titanium (Ti) and TiOx interfacial layers on switching characteristics of MgO based Resistive Random Access Memory (ReRAM) devices. The devices with Ti/MgO and Ti/TiOx/MgO bi-layer structures demonstrated bipolar resistive switching characteristics with self-compliance behavior and low set/reset voltages. Much lower self-compliance current was observed for Ti/TiOx/MgO devices compared to Ti/MgO devices. The mechanism behind this observation was explained based on oxygen ions and oxygen vacancies transport between TiOx and MgO layers.
