Leakage of current in oxide layers is the main issue for higher speed and denser resistive random-access memory. Defect engineering played a substantial role meeting this challenge by doping or producing controlled interstitial defects active sites. These sites enabled memory cells to form stable reproducible conduction filament following an electrochemical metallization model. In study, defect-abundant lime peel extract (LPE)-mediated anatase TiO2 thin film was fabricated using simple...
