    摘要： An electrically operated, directly overwritable, multibit, single-cell memory element. The memory element includes a volume of memory material which defines the single cell memory element. The memory material is characterized by: (1) a large dynamic range of electrical resistance values; and (2) the ability to be set at one of a plurality of resistance values within the dynamic range in response to selected electrical input signals so as to provide the single cell with multibit storage capabilities, and (3) the ability of at least a filamentary portion to be set, by the selected electrical singal to any resistance value in the dynamic range, regardless of the previous resistance value of the material. The memory element also includes a pair of spacedly disposed contacts for supplying the electrical input signal to set the memory material to a selected resistance value within the dynamic range. Each contact includes (1) a thin-film layer, preferably titanium cabonitride or titanium siliconitride, disposed adjacent to the memory material, used as a diffusion barrier to inhibit foreign material from entering the memory material, and (2) a thin-film layer, preferably a Ti--W alloy, disposed remote to the memory material, used to provide a barrier to aluminum electromigration, diffusion and providing an ohmic contact at the aluminum interface.

    摘要： A solid state, directly overwritable, electronic, non-volatile, high density, low cost, low energy, high speed, readily manufacturable, multibit single cell memory or control array based upon the novel switching characteristics provided by said unique class of semiconductor materials characterized by a large dynamic range of reversible Fermi level positions. The memory or control elements from which the array is fabricated exhibit orders of magnitude higher switching speeds at remarkably reduced energy levels. The novel memory elements of the instant invention are in turn characterized, inter alia, by numerous stable and non-volatile detectable configurations of local atomic and/or electrode order, which configurations can be selectively and repeatably accessed by electric input signals of yawing energy level. The memory elements are further characterized by enhanced stability, which stability is achieved through the use of compositional modulation of the semiconductor material from which the memory elements are fabricated.

    摘要： Disclosed herein is a solid state, directly overwritable, non-volatile, high density, low cost, low energy, high speed, readily manufacturable, single cell memory element having reduced switching current requirements and increased write/erase cycle life. The structurally modified memory element includes an electrical contact formed of amorphous silicon, either alone or in combination with a layer of amorphous carbon layer. The memory element exhibits orders of magnitude higher switching speeds at remarkably reduced switching energy levels. The novel memory elements of the instant invention are further characterized, inter alia, by at least two stable and non-volatile detectable configurations of local atomic and/or electronic order, which configurations can be selectively and repeatably accessed by electrical input signals of designated energies. The reduced switching current requirements and an increased write/erase cycle life are achieved by structurally modifying the electrical contact with the aforementioned layer of amorphous silicon.
