Abstract
We demonstrate a high-performance selection device by utilizing the concept of crested oxide barrier to suppress the sneak current in bipolar resistive memory arrays. Using a TaO(x)/TiO(2)/TaO(x) structure, high current density over 10(7) A cm(-2) and excellent nonlinear characteristics up to 10(4) were successfully demonstrated. On the basis of the defect chemistry and SIMS depth profile result, we found that some Ta atoms gradually diffused into TiO(2) film, and consequently, the energy band of the TiO(2) film was symmetrically bent at the top and bottom TaO(x)/TiO(2) interfaces and modified as a crested oxide barrier. Furthermore, the one selector-one resistor device exhibited significant suppression of the leakage current, indicating excellent selector characteristics.
