摘要
The impact of a nanoscale confined current path is demonstrated on a resistance switching memory device. The memory element consists of a Ti layer constricted by an insulating self-assembly nanogap oxide, in which a redox reaction is anticipated for the resistance change without an aid of a forming process. The device exhibits a resistance ratio greater than 100, a data retention longer than 3.7x10(6) s, an endurance of more than 2000 cycles, and a switching operation temperature up to 125 degrees C at an operation condition of +/- 2.5 V with 50-100 ns duration, evidencing an essential role of the nanostructure on the device performance.
