  • Abstract
    Write-once-read-many-times memory cells were fabricated using ZnO thin film on p-Si (111) substrate. The off- and on-state resistance ratio is over 104 and can be well sustained for more than 100 years and perfectly endure reading cycles of 108 . The conducting filaments consisting of oxygen vacancies are responsible for the switching mechanism.
