  • MEMRISTOR WITH CONTROLLED ELECTRODE GRAIN SIZE
    Publication number: 20130026434
    Abstract: A memristor with a controlled electrode grain size includes an adhesion layer, a first electrode having a first surface contacting the adhesion layer and a second surface opposite the first surface, in which the first electrode is formed of an alloy of a base material and at least one second material, and in which the alloy has a relatively smaller grain size than a grain size of the base material. The memristor also includes a switching layer positioned adjacent to the second surface of the first electrode and a second electrode positioned adjacent to the switching layer.
