  • Publication number: 20220302383
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a selector device includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and a selector layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. At least one of the first electrode or the second electrode includes a stacked film. The stacked film includes a first layer including a first material with a first Debye temperature, and a second layer in contact with the first layer and including a second material with a second Debye temperature lower than the first Debye temperature. A ratio of the first Debye temperature to the second Debye temperature is equal to or greater than 5.
