Narrow Results

Flexible resistive switching memory devices based on graphene oxide (GO) polymer nanocomposite were prepared on flexible substrate to research the influence of bending on resistive switching behavior. The devices showed evident response in resistive switching memory characteristics to flexible bending. The 2000 cycles flexible bending leads to the switch of resistive switching memory characteristic from write-once-read-many time memory (WORM) to static random access memory (SRAM). Both WORM and SRAM memory properties are all repeatable, and the threshold switching voltage also showed good consistency. The resistive switching mechanism is attributed to the formation of carbon-rich conductive filaments for nonvolatile WORM characteristics. The bending-induced micro-crack may be responsible for the partial broken of the electrical channels, and may lead to the volatile SRAM characteristics.
