We investigate the resistive switching characteristics of a Cu/VOx/W structure. The VOx film is deposited by radio- frequency magnetron sputtering on the Cu electrode as a dielectric layer. The prepared VOx sample structure shows reproducible bipolar resistive switching characteristics with ultra-low switching voltage and good cycling endurance. A modified physical model is proposed to elucidate the typical switching behavior of the vanadium oxide-based resistive switching memory with a sudden resistance transition, and the self-saturation of reset current as a function of compliance current is observed in the test, which is attributed to the conducting mechanism is discussed in detail. growth pattern of the conducting filaments. Additionally, the related
