Electric-field induced structural transition in vertical MoTe 2 - and Mo 1– x W x Te 2 -based resistive memories
NATURE MATERIALS(2018)
摘要
Transition metal dichalcogenides have attracted attention as potential building blocks for various electronic applications due to their atomically thin nature and polymorphism. Here, we report an electric-field-induced structural transition from a 2H semiconducting to a distorted transient structure (2H d ) and orthorhombic T d conducting phase in vertical 2H-MoTe 2 - and Mo 1− x W x Te 2 -based resistive random access memory (RRAM) devices. RRAM programming voltages are tunable by the transition metal dichalcogenide thickness and show a distinctive trend of requiring lower electric fields for Mo 1− x W x Te 2 alloys versus MoTe 2 compounds. Devices showed reproducible resistive switching within 10 ns between a high resistive state and a low resistive state. Moreover, using an Al 2 O 3 /MoTe 2 stack, On/off current ratios of 10 6 with programming currents lower than 1 μA were achieved in a selectorless RRAM architecture. The sum of these findings demonstrates that controlled electrical state switching in two-dimensional materials is achievable and highlights the potential of transition metal dichalcogenides for memory applications.
