We develop a novel device structure using easy-to-grow nanoscaffold films to localize oxygen vacancy at vertical heterointerfaces. Our strategy is to design vertical interfaces using two structurally incompatible oxides, which are likely to generate a high concentration oxygen vacancy. We demonstrate nonlinear electroresistance at room temperature using these nanoscaffold devices. The resistance variations exceed two orders of magnitude with very high uniformity and tunability.
