ABSTRACT:
A media device includes a phase change media having altered resistivity where data is written to the media. The media includes an overcoat to reduce physical damage inflicted on the media from a device such as a cantilever tip in a molecular memory integrated circuit used to write to or read from the media. Data written to the media can be exist in multiple states, allowing digital and/or analog data to be stored on the media.
