Abstract

In this study, $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ and $Ge_8Sb_2Te_{11}$ were used as an insulator layer to fabricate ReRAM devices. The resistance change is correlated to the appearance or disappearance of a conductivity filament at the surface of the GeSbTe layer. Changes in the electrical properties of ITO/GeSbTe/Ag devices were measured using a I-V-L measurement system. As a result, compared to the $ITO/Ge_8Sb_2Te_{11}/Ag$ device, this $ITO/Ge_2Sb_2Te_5/Ag$ ReRAM device exhibits highly uniform bipolar resistive switching characteristics, such as the operating voltages, and the resistance values.
