The proposed device facilitates dynamic modulation of turn-on voltage(V_(ON)) through an additional SET operation, allowing V_(ON) to shift above 0 V. The retention time in SET operation was extended to 10^(4) s by optimizing the tunneling layer deposition conditions. The device characterization revealed a significant correlation between V_(ON) and both the WRITE speed and the retention properties of the DT-2T0C, verifying the trade-off between WRITE time and retention time.
