    摘要: A multi-layer non-volatile memory integrally formed on top of a substrate including active circuitry is disclosed. Each layer of memory includes memory cells (e.g., a two-terminal memory cell) having a multi-resistive state material layer that changes its resistive state between a low resistive state and a high resistive state upon application of a write voltage across the memory cell. Data stored in the memory cells can be non-destructively determined by applying a read voltage across the memory cells. Data storage capacity can be tailored to a specific application by increasing or decreasing the number of memory layers that are integrally fabricated on top of the substrate (e.g., more than four layers or less than four layers). The memory cells can include a non-ohmic device for allowing access to the memory cell only during read and write operations. Each memory layer can comprise a cross point array.

    摘要: A conductive memory stack is provided. The memory stack includes a bottom electrode, a top electrode and a multi-resistive state element that is sandwiched between the electrodes. The bottom electrode can be described as having a top face with a first surface area, the top electrode has a bottom face with a second surface area and the multi-resistive state element has a bottom face with a third surface area and a top face with a fourth surface area. The multi-resistive state element's bottom face is in contact with the bottom electrode's top face and the multi-resistive state element's top face is in contact with the top electrode's bottom face. Furthermore, the fourth surface area is not equal to the second surface area.
