The results of the present investigation on the MIM model structure would support our suggestion that the non-linear I-V characteristics generated from the TiN/TiO2 composite is attributed basically to TiN/TiO2/TiN structure with an appropriate thickness of the insulating intergranular TiO2 phase. Even though an aimed microstructure as shown in Fig. 1 has not been satisfactorily obtained in the present study, proper insertion of thin insulating layers into intergranular regions in metallic non-oxide ceramics was verified to give rise to non-linear current-voltage characteristics which can be further furnished to be used for electronic applications.
