摘要: Abstract We report the successful growth of vanadium dioxide (VO 2 ) films on SiO buffered metal electrode and fabrication metal–oxide-insulator–metal (MOIM) junction. The VO film has an abrupt thermal-induced metal–insulator transition (MIT) with a change resistance orders magnitude. electrically-driven MIT (E-MIT) switching characteristics have been investigated by applying perpendicular voltage to based MOIM device at particular temperatures, sharp jumps in electric current were observed I – V under low threshold 1.6 V. Ohmic behavior, non-Ohmic super-linear one, metallic regime are sequentially increase voltage. It is expected be significance exploring ultrafast electronic devices incorporating correlated oxides structure.
