Tunable Power Switching in Nonvolatile Flexible Memory Devices Based on Graphene Oxide Embedded with ZnO Nanorods

TLDR
In this article, the resistive switching and flexibility behavior of zinc oxide nanorods (ZNs) incorporated graphene oxide (GO) sheets were investigated for flexible resistive random access memory (RRAM).
Abstract
The growing demand for portable and bendable nonvolatile memory systems has motivated extensive research in the field of flexible resistive random access memory (RRAM) devices. This study investigated the resistive switching and flexibility behavior of zinc oxide nanorods (ZNs) incorporated graphene oxide (GO) sheets. GOZNs-based RRAM devices having top metal aluminum electrodes were fabricated on flexible indium tin oxide (ITO) coated polyethylene terephthalate (ITOPET) substrate. The devices having the structure Al/GOZNs/ITOPET showed typical bipolar resistive switching characteristics with switching voltages lower than those of Al/GO/ITOPET devices. The significant (∼50%) decrement in operating voltages in the case of GOZNs-based RRAM was attributed to enhanced concentration of oxygen vacancies into the GO matrix due to the incorporation of ZNs, which was supported by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies. These memory devices showed repeatable and reliable switching characteristics having an on/off...
