摘要
Threshold-switching (TS) and selector performances of Si-As-Te thin films for crossbar resistive memory were studied. Composition of the film was the major factor determining the emergence of TS. On-state conduction was found to occur at localized regions. The change of threshold voltage and off-state current by varying composition was observed, which were explained by the change in the concentration of defects and generation efficiency of carriers. The serially connected TiO2 unipolar switching memory and Si-As-Te threshold switch showed the resistance switching of the memory layer with the leakage current lowered by similar to 120 times at 0.5 V.
