abstract = {Foreign components such as dopants and impurities in
molecular or ionic form may significantly influence
forming/switching processes in redox‐based memories. This
work presents a systematic study and discussion on effects
of oxygen and moisture in Ta2O5 and HfO2 thin films, being
two of the most used materials for redox‐based resistively
switching random access memories. Whereas oxygen is found to
not affect the device behavior, the presence of moisture
profoundly influences it. It plays a crucial role for the
counter electrode reaction, providing additional charged
species and enabling the formation of oxygen vacancies, thus
determining the forming voltage and the kinetics of this
process. Here, methods for incorporation of moisture within
the oxide films and its defect chemistry are discussed.
Based on the standard electrode potentials and analysis of
the electrochemical processes at both electrodes, it is
possible to predict their sequence during switching. The
difference using symmetric cells with inert electrodes
Pt/MeOx/Pt and asymmetric devices with ohmic electrodes
Me/MeOx/Pt is explained by the electrochemical reaction
sequence and ability of the ohmic electrode to undergo redox
reactions. Upon oxidation the Me electrode can either
exchange O2− with the oxide or can be a source for cations
within the MeOx, keeping the balance between oxygen
rich/deficient matrix.},
