NONVOLATILE PROGRAMMABLE RESISTOR MEMORY CELL

摘要

A nonvolatile programmable resistance memory cell comprising a high-mobility ion conductor and a method for fabricating the same are provides. The memory cell comprises of a first and second electrode and a reversible and persistent programmable resistance structure connecting the first and second electrode. The resistance is modifiable by altering the ionic distribution of a high-mobility oxygen ion conductor region. As an alternate embodiment, the memory cell further includes a transition-metal oxide region.
