Abstract
A nonvolatile resistive switching memory includes an inert metal electrode, a resistive switching functional layer, and an easily oxidizable metal electrode. A graphene intercalation layer with nanopores, interposed between the easily oxidizable metal electrode and the resistive switching functional layer, is capable of controlling the metal ions, which are formed by the oxidation of the easily oxidizable metal electrode during the programming of the device, and only enter into the resistive switching functional layer through the position of the nanopores. Further, the graphene intercalation layer with nanopores is capable of blocking the diffusion of the metal ions, making the metal ions, which are formed after the oxidation of the easily oxidizable metal electrode, enter into the resistive switching functional layer only through the position of the nanopores during the programming of the device, thereby controlling the growing position of conductive filament.
