Abstract
ABSTRACT Metal-insulator transition properties in polycrystalline VOx thin films, which were deposited using rf magnetron sputtering with a vanadium target on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates, were studied in terms of structural and electrical characteristics. The phase change of VOx thin films by annealing was confirmed from amorphous VOx films to mixed crystalline phases containing V2O3,VO2,V6O13, and V2O5. The metal-insulator transition of VOx thin films was observed by current-voltage measurement as a function of top-electrode area and the temperature. It was demonstrated that the VOx thin films can be applied to memory devices employing the transition from a high-resistance (off) insulating state to a low-resistance (on) metallic state.
