Resistive Switching Behavior in Undoped α-Fe2O3 Film with a Low Resistivity

Article Preview

Abstract:

The resistive switching behavior of a low resistive p-type α-Fe2O3 thin film sandwiched between Fe bottom electrode and top electrodes of various materials (Fe, Ni and TiN) was studied by current-voltage measurements. When TiN was used for top electrode of memory cell, the reversible resistive switching behavior was observed for over 100 cycles. From impedance measurement, it was suggested that the resistive switching behavior in the TiN/p-type α-Fe2O3/Fe device is attributed to the change of the contact resistance in the interface between TiN and α-Fe2O3 layers.
