Abstract
1319388 Semi-conductor device MESSERSCHMITT - BOLKOW - BLOHM GmbH 7 Dot 1971 [9 Oct 1970] 46728/71 Heading H1K A data storage element consists of an amorphous layer comprising a mixture of silicon monoxide and dioxide sandwiched between electrodes of different electronegativity, e.g. aluminium and silver. The element can be switched in as little as 1 Ás. from a high resistance (ca.1M#) condition to a low resistance (ca.300#) condition by application of a negative voltage greater than a threshold value to the more electronegative electrode, and back to the high resistance condition by passing a current exceeding a threshold value through the device when oppositely poled. The resistance state it was last in is memorized by the element after removal of the voltage. A matrix of the elements utilizing a common oxide layer may be formed by vapour deposition techniques. In a modified matrix decoupling is achieved by connecting in series with each element a diode 50 poled that when it is conductive the more electronegative electrode of the element is positive.
