SOLID ELECTROLYTE SWITCHING ELEMENT, AND FABRICATION METHOD OF THE SOLID ELECTROLYTE ELEMENT, AND INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

摘要

The switching element of the present invention is of a configuration that includes: a first electrode (14) and a second electrode (15) provided separated by a prescribed distance; a solid electrolyte layer (16) provided in contact with the first electrode (14) and the second electrode (15); a third electrode (18) that can supply metal ions and that is provided in contact with the solid electrolyte layer (16); and a metal diffusion prevention film (17) that covers points of the surface of the solid electrolyte layer (16) that are not in contact with the first electrode (14), the second electrode (15) or the third electrode (18). This configuration prevents the adverse effect of metal ions upon other elements.
