摘要
Through a simple industrialized technique which was completely fulfilled at room temperature, we have developed a kind of promising nonvolatile resistive switching memory consisting of Ag/ZnO:Mn/Pt with ultrafast programming speed of 5 ns, an ultrahigh R-OFF/R-ON ratio of 10(7), long retention time of more than 10(7) s, good endurance, and high reliability at elevated temperatures. Furthermore, we have successfully captured clear visualization of nanoscale Ag bridges penetrating through the storage medium, which could account for the high conductivity in the ON-state device. A model concerning redox reaction mediated formation and rupture of Ag bridges is therefore suggested to explain the memory effect. The Ag/ZnO:Mn/Pt device represents an ultrafast and highly scalable (down to sub-100-nm range) memory element for developing next generation nonvolatile memories.
