Abstract

The effect of optical illumination in the visible band on the resistive switching in ITO/ZrO2(Y)/n-Si metal—oxide—semiconductor (MOS) structures (including those with Au nanoparticles embedded in the ZrO2(Y) layer) is studied. It is found that the dependence of the logical gap between the resistance states on the photoexcitation intensity had a threshold nature. The logical gap decreases with further increasing photoexcitation intensity above the threshold. This effect is ascribed to the heating of active layers of the MOS structure due to interband optical absorption in the Si substrate. The suppression of resistive switching by photoexcitation at a wavelength of 650 nm (corresponding to plasmon resonance in Au nanoparticles) due to plasmon optical absorption in nanoparticles is observed.
