Abstract :
ZnO-based Schottky junctions fabricated at low temperature are proposed as selectors for crossbar non-volatile memory devices. Rectifying ratio over 107 and forward current density as high as 104 A/cm2 are reported. Results of the integration with NiO based switching memory elements are also shown.
