Popis: In this study, the electrical conduction and bipolar switching properties in transparent vanadium oxide thin films are investigated and discussed. (110)-oriented vanadium oxide thin films were well deposited onto transparent ITO substrates for the possible development of applications in the structure of system-on-panel devices. For the as-deposited vanadium oxide thin films, they were prepared for 1 h by a rf magnetron sputtering method of rf power 130 W, chamber pressure 10 mTorr, substrate temperature 550 °C, and different oxygen concentrations. In addition, the Al/V2O5/ITO device presents reliable and bipolar switching behavior. The on/off ratio and switching cycling of two stable states are found and discussed. We suggest that the current–voltage characteristics are governed by ohmic contact and Poole−Frankel emission transport model mechanisms in low- and high-voltage regions, respectively.
