ABSTRACT:
Programmable impedance devices and methods of fabricating the devices are disclosed. The programmable impedance devices exhibit non-volatile tunable impedance properties. A programmable impedance device includes a first electrode, a second electrode and a programmable material disposed between the two electrodes. The programmable material may be disposed at a junction between the first and second electrodes.
