Interfacial layer between the electrode and metal-oxide interface in a Resistive RAM (ReRAM) could either enhance or deteriorate the switching performance of the device. In this study, we investigate the role of Aluminum (Al) as an interfacial layer under the top electrode (TE) layer in a Niobium Oxide (Nb2O5) based ReRAM. We compare the Current-Voltage (I-V), Capacitance-Voltage (C-V) characteristics and endurance effects of the Nb2O5 based ReRAM with an Al interfacial layer below the Tungsten (W) TE and a control sample without the Al interfacial layer to contrast the performance of each type. Additionally, we connect the tested device behavior with the enthalpy, entropy, and Gibb’s free energy of Aluminum and Tungsten which are the metal electrode materials to illustrate that aluminum is an inefficient interfacial layer in the niobium oxide ReRAM. 2019-07-11 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1552657250617694 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1552657250617694 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
