<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a memory element which checks the thermal damage to the memory element to stably perform the repetitive operation. <P>SOLUTION: A memory layer 4 is disposed between two electrodes 3, 6 with an ion source layer 5 containing any element selected among Cu, Ag, Zn, adjacent to the memory layer 4. The memory layer 4 forms memory elements 10 made of an oxide containing at least one kind of elements selected among gold, silver, iridium, ruthenium, rhenium, platinum, palladium, rhodium and osmium, i.e., noble metal elements. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
