Recently, resistive random access memory has been continuously investigated in order to replace the flash memory. In this paper, Al/ZnO/Al structured device was fabricated by magnetron sputtering and vacuum thermal evaporation. Systematic study has been conducted to explore the structural, morphological, and the resistive switching properties of ZnO films with Al metal as both bottom and top electrodes. The resistive switching mechanism of Al/ZnO/Al device was analyzed based on the above study.

ABSTRACTThis report covers the resistive switching characteristics of cross-bar type semi-transparent (or see-through) resistive random access memory (RRAM) devices based on ZnO. In order to evaluate the transmittance of the devices, we designed the memory array with various electrode sizes and spaces between the electrodes. To prevent read disturbance problems due to sneak currents, we employed a metal oxide based p-NiO/n-ZnO diode structure, which exhibited good rectifying characteristics and high forward current density. Based on these results, we found that the combined metal oxide diode/RRAM device could be promising candidate with suppressed read disturbances of cross-bar type ZnO RRAM device.
