Abstract
Influence of GeOx layer on resistive switching memory performance in a simple and CMOS compatible W/WOx/GeOx:WOx mixture/W structure has been investigated for the first time. All layers are confirmed by both HRTEM and XPS. This memory device has enhanced performance in terms of the resistance ratio, uniformity, and program/erase cycles as compared to W/WOx/W structure. An excellent read endurance and program/erase cycles of >;106 at large Vread of ±1V are obtained. Furthermore, the memory device exhibits robust data retention at 85°C. This device can be operated as low current as 0.1 μA.
