Abstract
The Cu-doped and undoped HfO 2 films were fabricated and the effect of Cu doping concentration on resistive switching (RS) of HfO 2 film was demonstrated. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was carried out to investigate the chemical bonding states of Cu in HfO 2 :Cu film. The improved RS behaviors in terms of ON/OFF ratio and switching parameters were observed for Cu-doped HfO 2 film with bipolar resistive switching (BRS) behavior. With the increase of Cu doping concentration, the 9.7% Cu-doped HfO 2 film showed both BRS and unipolar resistive switching (URS) behaviors with large operating voltages. The space charge limited current (SCLC) effect was proposed to interpret the switching mechanism of HfO 2 :Cu films with BRS behavior and the URS behavior can be explained by the migration of Cu ions.
