CONTROL LAYER FOR A NANOSCALE ELECTRONIC SWITCHING DEVICE

摘要

A control layer (26, 26', 28, 28', 28") for use in a junction of a nanoscale electronic switching device (10) is disclosed. The control layer (26, 26', 28, 28', 28") includes a material that is chemically compatible with a connecting layer (16) and at least one electrode (12, 14) in the nanoscale switching device (10). The control layer (26, 26', 28, 28', 28") is adapted to control at least one of electrochemical reaction paths, electrophysical reaction paths, and combinations thereof during operation of the device (10).
