    Abstract: A solid-state memory that requires a lower current during recording and erasing data and can repeatedly rewrite data an increased number of times. In at least one example embodiment, the solid-state memory includes a recording layer that includes a laminated structure in which electric properties are changed in response to a phase separation. The laminated structure includes a film containing an Sb atom(s) and a film containing a Ge atom(s), which films constitute a superlattice structure. In the laminated structure, phase separation of the film containing the Sb atom and the film containing the Ge atom allows data to be recorded and erased efficiently.
