ABSTRACT:
A memory including memory cells having active and passive layers may store multiple information bits. The active layer may include an organic polymer that has a variable resistance based on the movement of charged species (ions or ions and electrons) between the passive layer and the active layer. The passive layer may be a super-ionic material that has high ion and electron mobility. The active layer may be self-assembled from a monomer in a liquid or gas.
