Abstract Memristive devices have shown a great potential for non-volatile memory circuits and neuromorphic computing. For both applications it is essential to know the physical mechanisms behind resistive switching; in particular, time response external voltage signals. To shed light these issues we studied role played by applied ramp rate electrical properties of TiN/Ti/HfO 2 /W metal–insulator–metal switching devices.
