摘要: We have fabricated Pt/ZrO2/Ir memory cells with pristine and Ar+ ion bombarded ZrO2 films, which show unipolar resistive switching behaviors. bombardment induces change in surface morphology chemical states of films. found that forming voltage significantly decreases a cell whose film shows oxygen vacancy like defects the largest root-mean-square (RMS) roughness. It seems process may be more easily induced an higher RMS roughness mainly due to locally enhanced electric field region defects.
