Abstract
The bipolar resistive switching properties of Pt/TaOx/InOx/ITO-resistive random-access memory devices under DC and pulse measurement conditions are explored in this work. Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to confirm the structure and chemical compositions of the devices. A unique two-step forming process referred to as the double-forming phenomenon and self-compliance characteristics are demonstrated under a DC sweep. A model based on oxygen vacancy migration is proposed to explain its conduction mechanism. Varying reset voltages and compliance currents were applied to evaluate multilevel cell characteristics. Furthermore, pulses were applied to the devices to demonstrate the neuromorphic system’s application via testing potentiation, depression, spike-timing-dependent plasticity, and spike-rate-dependent plasticity.
