Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method is presented for obtaining a controllable resistance change in a battery-like device. The method includes depositing a first lithium-compound based layer in direct contact with a bottom electrode, depositing an electrolyte layer in direct contact with the first lithium-compound based layer, depositing a second lithium-compound based layer in direct contact with the electrolyte layer, forming a top electrode in direct contact with the second lithium-compound based layer, and applying electrical pulses between the top and bottom electrodes to trigger lithium ion transport to modify lithium concentrations in the first and second lithium-compound based layers.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for obtaining a controllable resistance change in a battery-like device, the method comprising: depositing a first lithium-compound based layer in direct contact with a bottom electrode; depositing an electrolyte layer in direct contact with the first lithium-compound based layer; depositing a second lithium-compound based layer in direct contact with the electrolyte layer; forming a top electrode in direct contact with the second lithium-compound based layer; and applying electrical pulses between the top and bottom electrodes to trigger lithium ion transport to modify lithium concentrations in the first and second lithium-compound based layers. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first lithium-compound based layer is constructed from a same material as the second lithium-compound based layer. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first and second lithium-compound based layers are lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO 2 ) layers. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte layer is a lithium phosphorous oxynitride (LiPON) layer. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the lithium ion transport modifies a resistivity of the first and second lithium-compound based layers. 6. The method of claim 5 , wherein modification of the resistivity enables control of a resistive switching behavior of the battery-like device. 7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the resistivity is symmetrically changed in both positive and negative directions.
