Abstract
Reproducible bipolar resistive switching behavior observed in Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor (Al/HfO2/In0.53Ga0.47As) structures is reported. The resistive switching originates from the redox phenomenon at the Al gate electrode which is induced by the migration of the oxygen ions. Low-frequency noise measurement is used to study the current fluctuation mechanisms. Scanning tunneling microscopy results confirm the formation of conducting filaments during the SET process in the devices. (C) 2012 The Electrochemical Society. All rights reserved.
