Abstract
The present study pioneered an oxygen migration-driven metal to insulator transition Mott memory, a new type of nonvolatile memory using lanthanum titanium oxide (LTO). We first show the reset first bipolar property without an initial electroforming process in LTO. We used oxygen-deficient ZnO as an interlayer between LTO and a W electrode to clarify whether oxygen migration activates LTO as the Mott transition. ZnO oxygen deficiency provides oxygen ion migration paths as well as a reservoir, facilitating oxygen migration from LTO to the W electrode. Thus, including the ZnO interlayer improved oxygen migration between LTO and the W electrode, achieving a 10-fold increased on/off current ratio. The current research contributes to a better understanding of valence change Mott memory by exploring the LTO resistive switching mechanism and ZnO interlayer influences on the oxygen migration process.
