    摘要: A memcapacitor device includes a memcapacitive matrix interposed between a first electrode and a second electrode. The memcapacitive matrix includes deep level dopants having a first decay time constant and shallow level dopants having a second decay time constant. The second decay time constant is substantially shorter than the first decay time constant. The capacitance of the memcapacitor device depends upon an initial voltage applied across the memcapacitive matrix and a time dependent change in capacitance of the memcapacitor device depends upon the first decay time constant. A method for forming a memcapacitive device is also provided.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to reconfigurable two-terminal electronic switch devices (100) comprising a compound (102) sandwiched between two electrodes (104,106). These devices are configured so that the two electrode/compound interface regions can be either rectifying or conductive, depending on the concentration of dopants at the respective interface, which provides four different device operating characteristics. By forcing charged dopants into or out of the interface regions with an applied electric field pulse, a circuit element can be switched from one type of stable operation to another in at least three different ways. A family of devices built to express these properties display behaviors that provide new opportunities for nanoscale electronic devices.
