Abstract:

Rapid advances in information technology rely on high-speed and large-capacity non volatile memories. Resistive switching (RS) based nanoscale memory devices have emerged as one of the potential candidates in information technology. Transition metal-oxides (TMO) have been extensively investigated for developing RS devices. In the present study, TiO2 and ZnO thin films deposited by RF magnetron sputtering method on Au/Ni/SiO2 /Si substrates were implanted with 50 keV Ti ions at different fluences ranging from 1×1010 – 1×1015 ions/cm2. X-ray diffraction and Raman results suggest modification of crystalline properties of the films as a function of ion fluence. Local resistive switching phenomenon has been investigated by conducting atomic force microscopy. Results show a clear RS phenomenon for the films implanted at the highest fluence. The development of conducting filaments, formed by the migration of many oxygen vacancies generated during ion implantation, can be responsible for this behaviour. An ion-induced phase transformation phenomenon has also been investigated in the case of TiO2 thin film. In a metal oxide-based RS device, the hardware implementation of bio-synaptic behaviour can be well realised. A filamentary model mediated by oxygen vacancy can facilitate bio-synaptic behaviour in these two terminal-RS devices. Because to their outstanding characteristics, these metal oxide-based RS devices have attracted a great deal of attention in developing next-generation vision sensors such as Optoelectronic random-access memory (ORAM) devices and gas sensor applications.
