The complementary resistive switching (CRS) characteristics using an IrOx/GdOx/Al2O3/TiN single cell are observed whereas the bipolar resistive switching (BRS) characteristics are observed for the IrOx/GdOx/TiN structure. Transmission electron microscope and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy depth profile show crystalline GdOx film and the presence of higher amount of oxygen at both IrOx/GdOx interface and Al2O3 layer. Inserting thin Al2O3 layer, the BRS is changed to CRS. This CRS has hopping distance of 0.58 nm and Poole-Frenkel current conductions for the “0” and “1” states, respectively. A schematic model using oxygen vacancy filament formation/rupture at the TE/GdOx interface and Al2O3 layer has been illustrated. This CRS device has good endurance of 1000 cycles with a pulse width of 1 μs, which is very useful for future crossbar architecture.
