Carbon Nitride Supported Ultrafine Manganese Sulfide Based Nonvolatile Resistive Switching Device for Nibble-Sized Memory Application

A high-temperature in situ route has been employed for the synthesis of carbon nitride supported manganese sulfide nanoparticles (CNMS). The hybrid material was characterized using different analytical techniques. The electrical property of the CNMS-based device demonstrated the resistive switching behavior with asymmetric S-type bipolar characteristics. The device exhibited the SET and RESET processes at +2.7 and -3.5 V, respectively, with the on-off ratio of similar to 10(3). The endurance and data retention studies were conducted for 10(3) cycles and 10(3) s, respectively, and the device revealed excellent stability with a constant on-off ratio. In this study, we also have demonstrated a nibble-sized device, made with CNMS, successfully processed, stored, and recovered the information in a binary form.
