Abstract
The effect of Ni doping concentration on resistive switching characteristics of Au/HfOx:Ni/Pt structure was investigated, and the 3.1% Ni-doped HfOx film was used to imitate the function of biological synapse. From the X-ray absorption near edge structure analysis, the forms and the local electronic structure of Ni atoms in the HfOx films with different Ni doping concentrations were investigated. According to the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis, the Ni doping introduced more oxygen vacancies in HfOx films. Gradual Reset process and concentrated distribution of resistive switching parameters were achieved for 3.1% Ni-doped HfOx films, which could be used to emulate the “learning” and “forgetting” function of the biological synapse. Multiple resistance levels can be observed in the continuously pulse number under identical pulse width of positive or negative voltage pulses. Moreover, the application of pulse-train operation scheme is an effective method to control analog synaptic devices during the Reset process, which can contribute to understand the nature of the conductive nano-filament evolution.
