Résumé

We report the fabrication of VO2 -based two terminal devices with 125-nm gaps between the two electrodes, using a simple, cost-effective method employing optical lithography and shadow evaporation. Current-voltage characteristics of the obtained devices show a main abrupt metal-insulator transition (MIT) in the VO2 film with voltage threshold values of several volts, followed by secondary MIT steps due to the nanostructured morphology of the layer. By applying to the two-terminal device a pulsed voltage over the MIT threshold, the measured switching time was as low as 4.5 ns and its value does not significantly change with device temperature, supporting the evidence of an electronically driven
