    摘要: Methods and means related to memory resistors are provided. A memristor includes two multi-layer electrodes and an active material layer. One multi-layer electrode forms an Ohmic contact region with the active material layer. The other multi-layer electrode forms a Schottky barrier layer with the active material layer. The active material layer is subject to oxygen vacancy profile reconfiguration under the influence of an applied electric field. An electrical resistance of the memristor is thus adjustable by way of applied programming voltages and is non-volatile between programming events.

    摘要: A nanoscale switching device has an active region disposed between two electrodes of nanoscale widths. The active region contains a switching material that carries mobile ionic dopants capable of being transported over the active region under an electric field to change a resistive state of the device. The switching material further carries immobile ionic dopants for inhibiting clustering of the mobile ionic dopants caused by switching cycles of the device. The immobile ionic dopants have a charge opposite in polarity to the charge of the mobile ionic dopants, and are less mobile under the electric field than the mobile ion dopants.
