Abstract :
TiN/HfOx/Al/Pt resistive switching random access memory (RRAM) devices were fabricated and investigated. The HfOx based RRAM with Al inserted layer showed bipolar resistive switching phenomenon. As a result of the improvement of uniformity contributed by Al atoms´ diffusion into HfOx film, robust self-compliance multilevel operation during set and reset process was reported. The possible mechanism was also discussed.
