ABSTRACT:
The switching element of the present invention includes an ion conduction layer (40) capable of conducting metal ions, a first electrode (21) and a second electrode (31) provided in contact with the ion conduction layer (40), and a third electrode (35) provided in contact with the ion conduction layer (40) and capable of supplying metal ions, and is of a configuration in which the area over which the first electrode (21) contacts the ion conduction layer (40) is smaller than the area over which the second electrode (31) contacts the ion conduction layer (40). The use of this configuration decreases the leak current in the OFF state.
