Abstract

Radio‐frequency magnetron sputtering has been used to deposit Ni ‐rich nickel oxide nano‐films to form a metal‐insulator‐metal structure, which exhibits resistive switching behavior. Memory characteristics of the structure have been investigated. The ratio of the current of the structure at the reading voltage of 0.05 V between a low‐resistance state ( LRS ) and a high‐resistance state ( HRS ) was observed to be >10 3 , showing a large memory window at a very low reading voltage. The memory window was well maintained within the time limit of the experiment (5 × 10 4 s), exhibiting good memory retention. The current transport at both the LRS and HRS has been studied, and the result suggests that the formation and annihilation of a conductive filament are responsible for the resistive switching.
