The impact of O2 plasma treatment on novel amorphous oxide InWZnO (IWZO) as conductive bridge random access memory (CBRAM) was investigated. A high-quality film on the surface of IWZO can be obtained by using remote O2 plasma treatment. The uniformity of O2 plasma sample is better than control sample, and also the set and reset voltage are more uniform and smaller to suitable for memory operation. Moreover, the O2 plasma sample shows excellent memory performance, such as high switching endurance cycles (up to 3 × 103), long retention time for 104 s at 85 °C. These results show that the surface modification with O2 plasma on IWZO CBRAM device is a critical technique for next generation memory applications.

O2 等离子体处理对新型非晶氧化物 InWZnO 对导电桥随机存取存储器的影响
研究了 O 2等离子体处理对作为导电桥随机存取存储器 (CBRAM) 的新型非晶氧化物 InWZnO (IWZO) 的影响。使用远程O 2等离子体处理可以在IWZO表面获得高质量的薄膜。O 2等离子体样品的均匀性优于对照样品,并且设置和复位电压更均匀且更小以适合存储器操作。此外,O 2等离子体样品显示出优异的记忆性能,例如高开关耐久循环(高达3 × 10 3)、 在85°C 下保持10 4秒的长保留时间。这些结果表明,用 O 2 进行的表面改性 IWZO CBRAM 设备上的等离子体是下一代存储器应用的关键技术。
