A study on the electrical switching properties of oxide metal

We have investigated the electrical properties of oxide metal thin film device. The device has been fabricated top-top electrode structure and its transport properties are measured in order to study the resistance change. Electrical properties with linear voltage sweep on a electrodes are used to show the variation of resistance of oxide metal thin film device. Fabricated oxide metal thin film device with MIM structure is changed from a low conductive Off-state to a high conductive On-state by the external linear voltage sweep. The device is switched from a high resistance state to a low resistance state by forming. Consequently, we believe oxide metal is a promising material for a next-generation nonvolatile memory and other electrical applications.
