To effectively solve the crosstalk issue in high-density crossbar array (CBA), high rectifying characteristics should be introduced in the resistance random-access memory (ReRAM) device, and in-depth understanding of the affecting factors on rectifying properties is essential for the large-scale application of ReRAM. In this paper, a high-performance self-rectifying device with CMOS compatible Pd/HfO2/TaOx/Ta structure was demonstrated in a 1-kb CBA. Forming-free, self-compliance, and high uniformity characteristics were successfully achieved. By modulating the thickness of the HfO2 rectifying layer, the rectifying ratio of device could be achieved as high as similar to 2 x 10(3) under +/- 3 V at low-resistance state (LRS). It was also experimentally confirmed that the selected unit cell in high-resistance state (logically the "OFF" state) was stably readable when it was surrounded by unselected LRS (logically the "ON" state) cells, in an array of up to 32 x 32 cells. Furthermore, a model based on interfacial barrier modulation and defects trapping/detrapping was proposed to elucidate the impact of the dielectric thickness on the self-rectifying characteristics of the device. The results presented in this paper provide a great potential for selector-free high-density memory applications.
