Abstract

In this work we present silicon process compatible, stable and reliable (>108>10^{8}cycles), high non-linearity ratio at half-read voltage (>5×105>5\times 10^{5}), high speed (<60ns<60ns) low operating voltage (<2V<2V) back-to-back Schottky diodes. Materials choice of electrode, thickness of semiconductor layer and doping level are investigated by numerical simulation, experiments and current-voltage equations to give a general design consideration when back-to-back Schottky diodes are used as selector device for Resistive Random Access Memory(RRAM) arrays.
