Abstrakt: We investigated the characteristics and the mechanism of Pt/La2O3/Pt resistance switching memory with a set of measurements. The La2O3 films were determined as nano-poly-crystalline (diameter of the nanocrystals 5-10 nm) by XRD and HRTEM analysis. The Pt/La2O3/Pt device exhibited excellent resistive switching properties, including low switching voltage (<2 V), large low/high resistance ratio (>108), and good cycling endurance property. The conduction mecha- nisms of the Pt/La2O3/Pt device were revealed with current-voltage characteristics, which are different in the low and high resistance states. Furthermore, XPS analysis and temperature-dependent resistance measurement in the low resistance state showed that the conducting filaments in the Pt/La2O3/Pt device are mainly affected by oxygen defects rather than metallic La.
