Abstract
Different from conventional unipolar type 1D1R RRAM devices, in this paper, a bipolar type 1D1R RRAM device structure is firstly proposed and successfully demonstrated by the combined TiOx-based Schottky diode and Cu/HfO2/Pt bipolar RRAM cell. Reliable and uniform self-compliance resistive switching characteristics are obtained by imposing current compliance using the reverse bias current of the TiOx-based Schottky diode. Experiment results show that the novel self-compliance bipolar 1D1R device has high potentiality for high-density integrated nonvolatile memory application.
