    Abstract: Device structures that exhibit negative resistance characteristics and fabrication methods for such device structures. A signal is applied to a metal layer of a metal-insulator-semiconductor capacitor to cause a breakdown of an insulator layer of the metal-insulator-semiconductor capacitor at a location. The breakdown at the location of the insulator layer causes the metal-insulator-semiconductor capacitor to exhibit negative resistance. The metal layer may be comprised of a polycrystalline metal. A grain of the polycrystalline metal may penetrate through the insulator layer and into a portion of a substrate at the location of the breakdown.
