Abstract
We report that implanting argon ions into a film of uniform atomic layer deposition (ALD)-grown SiO x enables electroforming and switching within films that previously failed to electroform at voltages <15 V. We note an implantation dose dependence of electroforming success rate: electroforming can be eliminated when the dosage is high enough. Our devices are capable of multi-level switching during both set and reset operations, and multiple resistance states can be retained for more than 30,000 s under ambient conditions. High endurance of more than 7 million (7.9 × 10 6 ) cycles is achieved alongside low switching voltages (±1 V). Comparing SiO x fabricated by this approach with sputtered SiO x we find similar conduction mechanisms between the two materials. Our results show that intrinsic SiO x switching can be achieved with defects created solely by argon bombardment; in contrast to defects generated during deposition, implantation generated defects are potentially more controllable. In the future, noble ion implantation into silicon oxide may allow optimization of already excellent resistance switching devices.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
