Description: 
Bipolar resistive switching memories based on metal oxides offer a great potential in terms of simple process integration, memory performance, and scalability. In view of ultrahigh density memory applications, a reduced device size is not the only requirement, as the distance between different devices is a key parameter. By exploiting a bottom-up fabrication approach based on block copolymer self-assembling, we obtained the parallel production of bilayer Pt/Ti top electrodes arranged in periodic arrays over the HfO2/TiN surface, building memory devices with a diameter of 28 nm and a density of 5 × 1010 devices/cm2. For an electrical characterization, the sharp conducting tip of an atomic force microscope was adopted for a selective addressing of the nanodevices. The presence of devices showing high conductance in the initial state was directly connected with scattered leakage current paths in the bare oxide …
