摘要 |
A device in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention comprises a phase change media including portions having altered resistivity where data is written to the media. Data written to the media can be represented by multiple resistivity measurements or ranges of resistivity measurements, allowing digital data and/or analog data to be stored on the media in high densities. The device can further comprise an overcoat and/or an undercoat. The overcoat can reduce physical damage inflicted on the media from a device such as a cantilever tip in a molecular memory integrated circuit used to write to or read from the media. Other objects, aspects and advantages of the invention can be obtained from reviewing the figures, specification and claims. |
