Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Various embodiments include a memory device and methods of forming the same. The memory device can include an electrode coupled to one or more memory elements, to store information. The electrode may comprise a number of metals, where a first one of the metals has a Gibbs free energy for oxide formation lower than the Gibbs free energy of oxidation of a second one of the metals.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of forming a memory device having a plurality of metals, the method comprising: forming a memory element on a substrate; forming a first metal of the plurality of metals; forming a second metal of the plurality of metals, the first metal having a Gibbs free energy of oxidation lower than the Gibbs free energy of oxidation of the second metal; and dispersing the plurality of metals substantially randomly over a surface of the memory element.…
