Vanadium dioxide thin films with the reversible semiconductor-metal phase transition at the thermochromic switching temperature of around 340 K have been prepared by pulsed laser deposition on (0001)-sapphire substrates. We fabricated different two-terminal devices and measured the switching properties by time domain reflectometry as well as switching with a pulse generator. We find repeatable switching behavior for billions of voltage pulses and switching times shorter than 50 ns by using a pulse generator. After measurements with time domain reflectometry at higher voltage amplitudes, we observe a local degredation of VO2 between the two metallic contacts. We think that the inhomogenous electrical fields in the VO2-structure due to the used conventional contact geometry lead to the local degredation. The main consequence is a partial switching due to local joule heating. This is in contradiction with the often used assumption of the homogenous switching of the complete volume of VO2 in two-terminal devices [1]. [1] Y.
