In this work, a double-layer stacked memristor with the structure of Ag/MoO<sub>x</sub>/MoO<sub>y</sub>/fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) was synthesized by magnetron sputtering (MS). The memristor presents the evolution of resistance switching (RS) behavior and negative differential resistance (NDR) coupled RS (NRS) behavior by adjusting the operating voltage.
