We investigated the electrical properties of Al/WOx/Pt thin fils which were prepared by RF-sputtering method at room temperature. The WOx films were deposited at a different oxygen partial pressure. The Al/WOx /Pt structures exhibited bipolar resistive switching. We investigated the basic switching properties, such as a retention and an endurance, which are essential for applications of non-volatile memory devices. We found that the oxygen pressure affects resistive switching behaviors considerably. The sample grown under O2(24sccm)+Ar(6sccm)gas shows optimized endurance and retention.
