SWITCHING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SWITCHING DEVICE

摘要

Disclosed is a switching device which is operated by utilizing an electrochemical reaction and comprises an ion conductive layer (54) which is capable of conducting metal ions, a first electrode (49) formed in contact with the ion conductive layer, and a second electrode (58) for supplying metal ions to the ion conductive layer. The switching device is characterized in that an oxygen absorption layer (55) containing a material which is more easily oxidized than the second electrode is formed in contact with the second electrode.
