Highly improved uniformity in the resistive switching parameters of TiO2 thin films by inserting Ru nanodots.

Limiting the location where electron injection occurs at the cathode interface to a narrower region is the key factor for achieving a highly improved RS performance, which can be achieved by including Ru Nanodots. The development of a memory cell structure truly at the nanoscale with such a limiting factor for the electric-field distribution can solve the non-uniformity issue of future ReRAM.
