    摘要: A nonvolatile memory element includes first and second electrodes, and a resistance variable layer disposed therebetween. At least one of the first and second electrodes includes a platinum-containing layer. The resistance variable layer includes a first oxygen-deficient transition metal oxide layer which is not physically in contact with the platinum-containing layer and a second oxygen-deficient transition metal oxide layer which is disposed between the first oxygen-deficient transition metal oxide layer and the platinum-containing layer and is physically in contact with the platinum-containing layer. When oxygen-deficient transition metal oxides included in the first and second oxygen-deficient transition metal oxide layers are expressed as MOx, and MOy, respectively, x

    摘要: A driving method for driving a variable resistance element and a nonvolatile memory device, which achieves stable storage operation. In a low resistance write process, a low resistance writing voltage pulse having the negative polarity is applied once to a variable resistance layer included in a variable resistance element while in a high resistance write process, a high resistance writing voltage pulse having the positive polarity is applied more than twice to the same variable resistance layer. Here, when a voltage value of one of the high resistance writing voltage pulses is VH1 and a voltage value of the other high resistance writing voltage pulse applied subsequently is VH2, VH1>VH2 is satisfied.

    摘要: Provided is a method for driving a non-volatile memory element in which a variable resistance element including a first electrode, a second electrode, and a variable resistance layer capable of reversibly changing between a high resistance state and a low resistance state with application of electrical signals having different polarities is connected in series with a current steering element having bidirectional rectifying characteristics with respect to an applied voltage. After the non-volatile memory element is manufactured, the resistance value of the variable resistance layer is reduced from a resistance value in the initial resistance state higher than that in the high resistance state by applying, to the non-volatile memory element, a voltage pulse having the polarity identical to that of the voltage pulse for changing the variable resistance layer from the low resistance state to the high resistance state in the normal operations.
