We have proposed a pn memory diode having a p-Cu2O/SiCxOy/n-SiC/n-Si diode structure with a SiCxOy layer formed between the pn semiconducting layers. The memory diode shows both resistive-nonvolatile-memory and rectifying behaviors, which are suited for the theoretically densest cross-point memory array. The forward bias current switches between high and low currents corresponding to low- and high-resistance states, respectively. Experimental results suggest that the change in the state is related to the nonexistence or existence of negative charges generated by electrons trapped in the intermediate SiCxOy oxide layer. This memory also exhibits good endurance characteristics of more than 105 resistance-switching cycles.
