Figure 8. Schematics of bipolar and unipolar mode RS mechanisms.

Figure 8

(a) Schematic of bipolar mode RS mechanism. Redox chemical reaction between oxygen vacancies and ions in the vicinity of the SRO/SZO:Cr interface plays a key role in determining the observed RS properties in case of bipolar RS mode. (b) Schematic of unipolar mode RS mechanism for the M and C1 devices where Ti out-diffusion occurs. After the electro-forming process, metallic filaments are created in the SZO:Cr layer. The observed unipolar resistive switching is caused by the repetition process of the rupture/re-creation of metallic filaments. Out-diffused Ti in the SZO:Cr contributes to the formation of metallic filaments.
