Abstract

A resistive random access memory includes a first electrode, a second electrode and a first metal oxide composite layer. The second electrode is opposite to the first electrode. The first metal oxide composite layer is disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. The first metal oxide composite layer has a film layer and a nanorod structure.

Claims (13)

1. A resistive random access memory, comprising:

a first electrode;

a second electrode opposite to the first electrode; and

a first metal oxide composite layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein the first metal oxide composite layer has a film layer and a nanorod structure.

2. The resistive random access memory of claim 1 , wherein the nanorod structure comprises a plurality of nanorods, and the longitudinal axis of at least one of the nanorods is substantially perpendicular to the film layer.

3. The resistive random access memory of claim 1 , wherein at least part of the nanorod structure is disposed between the second electrode and the film layer.

4. The resistive random access memory of claim 1 , wherein the material of the film layer and the nanorod structure comprises ZnO, NiO, TiO 2 , CuO X , WO X , FeO X , HfO 2 , TaO X or SrTiO X .

5. The resistive random access memory of claim 1 , wherein the film layer and the nanorod structure are made of the same material or different materials.

6. The resistive random access memory of claim 1 , wherein the film layer has a first thickness ranged between 25 nm and 200 nm.

7. The resistive random access memory of claim 1 , wherein the nanorod structure has a second thickness ranged between 50 nm and 500 nm.

8. The resistive random access memory of claim 1 , wherein the film layer is disposed on the first electrode by sputtering.

9. The resistive random access memory of claim 1 , wherein the nanorod structure is disposed on the film layer by chemical bath deposition or hydrothermal method.

10. The resistive random access memory of claim 1 , wherein the material of the first electrode and the second electrode comprises Pt, Pd, Os, Ir, Rh, Ru, Ti, Cu, Al, Ni, Au, Ag, or their combinations.
