Unipolar resistive switching characteristics induced by electrical pulse have been investigated based on the sandwiched Pt/amorphous SrTiO3−δ(α-STO)/PtSrTiO3−δ(α-STO)/Pt memory cells. The conduction mechanisms at HRS and LRS were attributed to the Poole–Frenkel emission and the joule heating effects. The relationship between the power needed for switching off the cell (PRPR) and the compliance current, the size of the electrode and the resistance at LRS were examined. The relationship between PRPR and the resistance value RLRL at LRS can be fitted by the formula of PR∝RL−γ.
