Sumario:The uncontrollable rupture of the filament accompanied with joule heating deteriorates the resistive switching devices performance, especially on endurance and uniformity. To suppress the undesirable filaments rupture, this work presents an interface engineering methodology by inducing a thin layer of NiO(x) into a sandwiched Al/TaO(x)/ITO resistive switching device. The NiO(x)/TaO(x) interface barrier can confine the formation and rupture of filaments throughout the entire bulk structure under critical bias setups. The physical mechanism behind is the space-charge-limited conduction dominates in the SET process, while the Schottky emission dominates under the reverse bias.
