Publication number: 20120292585Abstract: A structure for a memory device including a plurality of substantially planar thin-film layers or a plurality of conformal thin-film layers is disclosed. The thin-film layers form a memory element that is electrically in series with first and second cladded conductors and operative to store data as a plurality of conductivity profiles. A select voltage applied across the first and second cladded conductors is operative to perform data operations on the memory device. The memory device may optionally include a non-ohmic device electrically in series with the memory element and the first and second cladded conductors. Fabrication of the memory device does not require the plurality of thin-film layers be etched in order to form the memory element. The memory element can include a CMO layer having a selectively crystallized polycrystalline portion and an amorphous portion. The cladded conductors can include a core material made from copper.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2012Publication date: November 22, 2012Applicant: Unity Semiconductor CorporationInventors: Robin Cheung, Darrell Rinerson, Travis Byonghyop Oh, Jon Bornstein, David Hansen
