In this study, we prepared a strontium ferrite titanate (STF) thin film using a sol-gel process to insulate resistive random-access memory (RRAM) applications. Compared to the typical strontium titanate (STO) RRAM, the improvement in the resistive switching characteristics in STF RRAM is obvious. The Al/STO/ITO/Glass RRAM set/reset voltages of -1.4 V/+3.3 V and the Al/STF/ITO/Glass RRAM set/reset voltages of -0.45 V/+1.55 V presented a memory window larger than 103, a low operating voltage and device stability of more than 104 s. In this study, the influence of Fe on the conducting paths and the bipolar resistive switching properties of Al/STF/ITO/Glass RRAM devices is investigated.
