Development of a silicon oxide-based resistive memory device using a spin-on hydrogen silsesquioxane precursor

Resistive memory devices have the potential to replace flash technology due to their increased scalability, low voltage of operation, and compatibility with silicon semiconductor manufacturing. We report a spin-on resistive switching material, hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ), which is a commonly used...

description Resistive memory devices have the potential to replace flash technology due to their increased scalability, low voltage of operation, and compatibility with silicon semiconductor manufacturing. We report a spin-on resistive switching material, hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ), which is a commonly used electron beam resist. We demonstrate device scalability from 100 μm to 48 nm and show that the switching properties do not depend on the device size. Set voltages were typically
