In the visible region (400 800 nm in wavelength) the TRRAM device has a transmittance of more than 80%. The fabricated TRRAM device shows a bipolar resistance switching behaviour at low voltage, while the retention test and rewrite cycles of more than 300,000 indicate the enhancement of switching capability. The mechanism of resistance switching is further explained by the forming and rupture processes of the filament in the TiO2 layer with the help of more oxygen vacancies which are provided by the transparent ITO electrodes.展开更多

Such a TCO device exhibits bipolar switching behaviour with an electric-pulse- induced resistance ratio as large as about 1000% and threshold voltages smaller than 2 V. The resistive switching characteristics may be understood by resistance changes of a Schottky junction composed of a metal and an n-type semiconductor, and its nonvolatility is attributed to the movement of oxygen vacancies near the interface.展开更多

The 4-wire and 2-wire measuring modes are used to investigate the transport character of the grain/phase boundary (inner interface) and electrode-bulk interface (outer interface), respectively, and the results indicate that there is a similar nonlinear I-V behaviour for both of the inner and outer interfaces, however, the electric pulse induced resistance change (EPIR) effect can only be observed at the outer interface.展开更多
