Electronic device such as a selector

摘要

The device (500) has a solid electrolyte (501) comprising a base of an ion conducting material. Two electrodes (502, 503) form a metal dendrite from metal ions circulating in the electrolyte when a potential difference of the ions is equal to or greater than a positive threshold voltage applied between the electrodes, where the device switches from a low resistance state to a high resistance state when the potential difference between the electrodes is equal to or greater than the threshold voltage and decreases a positive threshold voltage that is lower than the threshold voltage. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) an elementary cell (2) an addressing matrix.
