Nonvolatile bipolar resistive switching has been observed in an Au/BiFeO3/Pt structure, where a Schottky contact and a quasi-Ohmic contact were formed at the Au/BiFeO3 and BiFeO3/Pt interface, respectively. By changing the polarity of the external voltage, the Au/BiFeO3/Pt is switched between two stable resistance states without an electroforming process. The resistive switching is strongly dependent on the deposition pressure of the BiFeO3 thin films, and the resistive switching property of the Au/BiFeO3/Pt stack has been significantly improved by carefully tuning the oxygen pressure during the growth, and a large switching ratio of ~4500 has been achieved. The deposition pressure modifies the concentration of oxygen vacancies and the rectifying behavior of the Au/BiFeO3 junction, and consequently influences the resistive switching behavior of the whole stack.
