Performance enhancement of Pt/ZnO/Pt resistive random access memory (RRAM) with UV-Ozone treatment

摘要

The bipolar resistive switching characteristics of the Pt/ZnO/Pt resistive random access memory (RRAM) had been investigated. This work introduced UV-Ozone treatment to improve the interface quality between ZnO thin film and Pt electrode. We found that UV-Oznoe can help to clean the surface of Pt electrode and provide superior surface morphology for the subsequent sputtering ZnO thin film deposition. According the experiment result, the Pt/ZnO/Pt RRAM demonstrated better on-off current ratio and the excellent retention time after UV-Ozone treatment.
