Abstract

We focused on the presence of water absorbed in the grain boundary of a polycrystalline transition metal oxide (TMO) film in an EL/poly-TMO/EL structure. The effect of supplying water to resistive random access memories (ReRAMs) of Pt/NiO/Pt structure on switching voltages and data retention characteristics was investigated. As a result, switching voltages were decreased by supplying water and reset switching was confirmed to be strongly induced by supplying water even at room temperature without applying voltage. These results suggest that water enhances resistive switching effect by providing reducing species and oxidizing species respectively such as H+ and OH-.
