Forming-free resistive switching of tunable ZnO films grown by atomic layer deposition
Undoped ZnO thin films with tunable electrical properties have been achieved by adjusting the O2 plasma time in the plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition process.

Abstract

Undoped ZnO thin films with tunable electrical properties have been achieved by adjusting the O2 plasma time in the plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition process. The structural, compositional and electrical properties of the deposited ZnO films were investigated by various characterization techniques. By tuning the plasma exposure from 2 to 8 s, both resistivities and carrier concentrations of the resultant ZnO films can be modulated by up to 3 orders of magnitude. Forming-free TiN/ZnO/TiN resistive memory devices have been achieved by choosing the ZnO film with the plasma exposure time of 6 s. This deposition method offers a great potential for producing other un-doped metal oxides with tunable properties as well as complex multilayer structures in a single deposition.
