We introduce an all-inorganic solution processed bipolar nonvolatile resistive memory device with quantum dot/metal-metal oxide/quantum dot structure. The two terminal device exhibits excellent switching characteristics with ON/OFF ratio >103. The device maintained its state even after removal of the bias voltage. The switching time is faster than 50 ns. Device did not show degradation after 1-h retention test at 150 °C. The memory functionality was consistent even after multiple cycles of operation and the device is reproducible. The switching mechanism is discussed on the basis of charge trapping in quantum dots with metal oxide serving as the barrier.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
