ABSTRACT:
An improved high-density digital storage device uses placement of mobile ions within a memory layer to record digital data. In an embodiment of the invention, the mobile ions comprise sodium ions or other alkali metal ions implanted in a silicon oxide memory layer. In a further embodiment of the invention, a scanning nanotip array is used to position the mobile ions via an electric field as well as to read the positions of the mobile ions. In a further embodiment of the invention, a grid-addressable array of transistors is used to provide scanning tips.
