摘要
Pt/Dy2O3/Pt resistive random access memory (RRAM) devices were fabricated on the Si/SiO2 substrate through RF magnetron sputtering method. The effects of the rapid thermal annealing (RTA) process on the switching characteristics of the RRAM devices were investigated. Surface topography, crystal structure and the chemical states of Dy and O were clarified by atom force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectrons spectroscopy (XPS) measurements respectively. The results showed that the RTA process could increase the ratio of the low and high resistance states (Roff/Ron), lower the operate voltage, and improve the resistive switching uniformity. According to the XPS results, the oxygen content in the surface of Dy2O3 film was increased after RTA process. Energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) result showed the enrichment of the oxygen on the surface which led to the increase of the initial resistance, and the migration of the oxygen ions from the Dy2O3 interior into the surface created oxygen vacancies behind which caused the decrease of the operate voltage. © Editorial Office of Chinese Journal of Rare Metals.
