Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of operating a memory device having a dielectric material layer, a transition metal oxide layer and a set of electrodes each formed over a substrate, includes applying a voltage across the set of electrodes producing an electric field across the transition metal oxide layer enabling the transition metal oxide layer to undergo a metal-insulation transition (MIT) to perform a read or write operation on memory device.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of operating a memory device having a dielectric material layer, a transition metal oxide layer, a first electrodes disposed directly on top of and in contact with a substrate and a second electrode formed directly on top of and in contact with the dielectric material layer, comprising: applying a voltage across the set of electrodes producing an electric field across the transition metal oxide layer enabling the transition metal oxide layer to unde…
