Abstract: In this work, resistive random-access memory(RRAM) device based on Cu12Sb4S13 quantum dots(CAS QDs) prepared by the hot-injection method was fabricated in a structure of FTO/CAS QDs/Au at room temperature. The sandwich structure memory device shows reproducible and reliable bipolar resistive switching property, low operation voltage(-0.38 V/0.42 V) and high resistance ratio (ON/OFF ratio over 105) with light assisting. The RRAM device also shows high reproducibility and good data retention ability. The resis-tance of the device stays constant after 104 cycles of quick read testing and state holding for 1.4×106 s, the change rate of the ON/OFF ratio is smaller than 0.1%. It is suggested that the connections/ruptures of conducting filaments formed by S vacancies and Schottky barrier height at the interface between the FTO electrode and the CAS QDs layer under an electric field and light irradiation are responsible for the resistive switching effect. This work is beneficial to understanding the resistive switching characteristics of the CAS QDs based RRAM devices, facilitating the application of next-generation nonvolatile memory.
