Resistive switching in MoSe$_{2}$/BaTiO$_{3}$ hybrid structures

Here we study the resistive switching (RS) effect that emerges when ferroelectric BaTiO$_{3}$ (BTO) and few-layers MoSe$_{2}$ are combined in one single structure. The C-V loops reveal the ferroelectric nature of both Al/Si/SiO$_{x}$/BTO/Au and Al/Si/SiO$_{x}$/MoSe$_{2}$/BTO/Au structures and the high quality of the SiO$_{x}$/MoSe$_{2}$ interface in the Al/Si/SiOx/MoSe$_{2}$/Au structure. Al/Si/SiO$_{x}$/MoSe$_{2}$/BTO/Au hybrid structures show the electroforming free resistive switching that is explained on the basis of the modulation of the potential distribution at the MoSe$_{2}$/BTO interface via ferroelectric polarization flipping. This structure shows promising resistive switching characteristics with switching ratio of $approx{}$10$^{2}$ and a stable memory window, which are highly required for memory applications.
