We report a carrier type dependence on the spatial asymmetry of unipolar resistive switching for various metal oxides, including NiOx, CoOx, TiO2-x, YSZ, and SnO2-x. n-type oxides show a unipolar resistive switching at the anode side whereas p-type oxides switch at the cathode side. During the forming process, the electrical conduction path of p-type oxides extends from the anode to cathode while that of n-type oxides forms from the cathode to anode. The carrier type of switching oxide layer critically determines the spatial inhomogeneity of unipolar resistive switching during the forming process possibly triggered via the oxygen ion drift.
