Abstract

The HfOx films grown on Pt substrates were deposited at different temperatures by RF magnetron sputtering. The crystal quality of HfOx film increased with the increasing deposition temperature. Typical bipolar resistive switching (RS) characteristics were observed in prepared samples. The sample deposited at 100 °C showed the best RS performance with large ON/OFF ratio, concentrated distribution of switching voltages and good reliability. Reset-first RS behavior was observed for the 300 °C deposited sample due to the high density of defects and the diffusion of Cu in the film. The distinct RS behaviors are closely related to the microproperties of the films. The possible switching mechanisms were discussed.
