1. A method for producing resistive switching elements, the method comprising:
- depositing a first electrode onto a substrate;
depositing a first resistive switching film onto the first electrode,wherein the first resistive switching film comprises a first dielectric material configured to develop conductive pathways during application of a predetermined voltage and further configured to maintain said conductive pathways after said predetermined voltage is removed,wherein depositing the first resistive switching film does not cause formation of an interfacial oxide layer on the first electrode; and
depositing a second electrode.

Abstract
Methods for producing RRAM resistive switching elements having reduced forming voltage include preventing formation of interfacial layers, and creating electronic defects in a dielectric film. Suppressing interfacial layers in an electrode reduces forming voltage. Electronic defects in a dielectric film foster formation of conductive pathways.
