  • Abstract
    Al/W:AlOx/WOy/W and Pt/AlOδ/Ta2O5-x /TaOy/Pt multiple layers ReRAM devices have been fabricated and carefully studied. Experimental results exhibit significant performance improvement through the insertion of AlOx layer between the switching layer and the top electrode. Operation current is remarkably reduced, ON/OFF ratio is greatly increased, and stable multi-level operations have been successfully achieved. Multiple layers stack engineering has been proved as an efficient method to improve the performances of ReRAM devices.
