Abstract
The behavior of the capacitance switching of HfO2Resistive non-volatile Memories is investigated in view of realizing a MEMImpedance (MEM-Z) device. In such a Metal Insulator Metal structure, the impedance value can be tuned by the adjustment of both resistance and capacitance values. We observe a strong variation of capacitance from positive to negative values in a single layer Metal Insulator Metal device made of HfO2deposited by Atomic Layer Deposition, but unfortunately no memory effect is observed. However, in the case of a two layer structure, a device has been obtained with a memory effect where both resistance and capacitance values can be tuned simultaneously, with a variation of capacitance down to negative values to get an inductive behavior. Negative capacitance values are observed for voltage values near SET voltage. A schematic model based on shaped oxygen vacancy density is proposed to account for this capacitance variation. The oxygen vacancies can be either isolated or connected in the bulk of the oxide.
