Abstract

The nanoscale (EOT<6 nm) flash and resistive switching memories using IrOx nanocrystals have been investigated. The IrOx nanocrystals embedded in high-κ Al2O3 film are observed by both high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The average size and density of IrOx nanocrystals are found to be ∼3 nm and ∼7×1012/cm 2, respectively. The flash memory devices with excellent endurance of 104 cycles and moderate retention of 10 hours are obtained. A bipolar resistive switching memory with a resistance ratio of ∼1.4×102 is observed after 1 hour of retention time.
