A nonvolatile memory element is disclosed comprising a first electrode, a near-stoichiometric metal oxide memory layer having bistable resistance, and a second electrode in contact with the near-stoichiometric metal oxide memory layer. At least one electrode is a resistive electrode comprising a sub-stoichiometric transition metal nitride or oxynitride, and has a resistivity between 0.1 and 10 Ωcm. The resistive electrode provides the functionality of an embedded current-limiting resistor and also serves as a source and sink of oxygen vacancies for setting and resetting the resistance state of the metal oxide layer. Novel fabrication methods for the second electrode are also disclosed.

Methods of annealing a thin semiconductor wafer are disclosed. The methods allow for high-temperature annealing of one side of a thin semiconductor wafer without damaging or overheating heat-sensitive electronic device features that are either on the other side of the wafer or embedded within the wafer. The annealing is performed at a temperature below the melting point of the wafer so that no significant dopant redistribution occurs during the annealing process. The methods can be applied to activating dopants or to forming ohmic contacts.

There is provided a method and computer system for object persistency that includes: running a program; storing an object of the program into a random access memory in response to determining that the object is a non-persistent object; and storing the object into a phase change memory in response to determining that the object is a persistent object. The method and computer system of the present disclosure do not need separate persistency layers, such that the programming model is light weighted, the persistency of object data is more simple and fast, and implicit transaction process is supported, thereby a great deal of development and runtime costs are saved.

A nonvolatile resistive memory element has a novel variable resistance layer comprising one or more rare-earth oxides. The rare-earth oxide has a high k value, a high bandgap energy, and the ability to maintain an amorphous structure after thermal anneal processes. Thus, the novel variable resistance layer facilitates improved switching performance and reliability of the resistive memory element.

Embodiments of the invention generally relate to nonvolatile memory devices and methods for manufacturing such memory devices. The methods for forming improved memory devices, such as a ReRAM cells, provide optimized, atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes for forming a metal oxide film stack having a metal oxide buffer layer disposed on or over a metal oxide bulk layer. The metal oxide bulk layer contains a metal-rich oxide material and the metal oxide buffer layer contains a metal-poor oxide material. The metal oxide bulk layer is less electrically resistive than the metal oxide buffer layer since the metal oxide bulk layer is less oxidized or more metallic than the metal oxide buffer layer. In one example, the metal oxide bulk layer contains a metal-rich hafnium oxide material and the metal oxide buffer layer contains a metal-poor zirconium oxide material.

According to various embodiments, a resistive-switching memory element and memory element array that uses a bipolar switching includes a select element comprising only a single diode that is not a Zener diode. The resistive-switching memory elements described herein can switch even when a switching voltage less than the breakdown voltage of the diode is applied in the reverse-bias direction of the diode. The memory elements are able to switch during the very brief period when a transient pulse voltage is visible to the memory element, and therefore can use a single diode per memory cell.
