摘要： A heat mitigated bipolar resistive switch includes a BRS matrix sandwiched between first and second electrodes and a heat mitigator. The BRS matrix is to support bipolar switching of a conduction channel formed between the first and second electrodes through BRS matrix. The heat mitigator is to reduce heat in the BRS matrix generated during bipolar switching. The heat mitigator includes one or both of a parallel-connected NDR element to limit current flowing in the BRS matrix and a high thermal conductivity material to conduct the generated heat away from the BRS matrix above a predetermined elevated temperature.

摘要： A memristive routing device includes a memristive matrix, mobile dopants moving with the memristive matrix in response to programming electrical fields and remaining stable within the memristive matrix in the absence of the programming electrical fields; and at least three electrodes surrounding the memristive matrix. A method for tuning electrical circuits with a memristive device includes measuring a circuit characteristic and applying a programming voltage to the memristive device which causes motion of dopants within the memristive device to alter the circuit characteristic. A method for increasing a switching speed of a memristive device includes drawing dopants from two geometrically separated locations into close proximity to form two conductive regions and then switching the memristive device to a conductive state by applying a programming voltage which rapidly merges the two conductive regions to form a conductive pathway between a source electrode and a drain electrode.
