Popis: With the aim to get optimised resistive switching properties, the influence of oxygen vacancy concentration of Nb:SrTiO3 (NSTO) on the resistive switching properties of Ag/NSTO/Ti structure was studied. To obtain the NSTO with different oxygen vacancy concentrations, the substrates had been annealed in different atmospheres and temperatures before they were used to fabricate Ag/NSTO/Ti structure. The resistive switching properties were investigated by measuring I–V characteristics, endurance ability and resistance distribution at room temperature. The results show that both annealing in oxygen atmosphere and vacuum atmosphere degraded the switching properties. In our case, the device annealed in air at 700°C displayed the best resistive switching behaviour. After analysis, we suggest that both Schottky barrier height and barrier width, which can be tuned by changing the oxygen vacancy concentration, play important roles in getting high quality resistive switching property.
