摘要
Crossbar array provides a cost-effective approach for achieving high-density integration of two-terminal functional devices. However, the ＂sneaking current problem＂, which can lead to read failure, is a severe challenge in crossbar arrays. To inhibit the sneaking current from unselected cells, the integration of individual selection devices is necessary. In this work, we report a novel TaOx-based selector exhibiting a trapezoidal band structure formed by tuning the concentration of defects in the oxide. Salient features such as a high current density （1 MA·cm^-2）, high selectivity （5 × 10^4）, low off-state current （-10 pA）, robust endurance （〉10^10）, self-compliance, and excellent uniformity were successfully achieved. The integrated one-selector one-resistor （1S1R） device exhibits high nonlinearity in the low resistance state （LRS）, which is quite effective in solving the sneaking current issue.
