Title:
NON-VOLATILE MEMORY ELEMENT, NON-VOLATILE MEMORY DEVICE, NON-VOLATILE SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE, AND NON-VOLATILE MEMORY ELEMENT MANUFACTURING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/087211
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The disclosed non-volatile memory element is provided with a first electrode (103), a second electrode (105), and a resistance change layer (104) present between the first electrode (103) and the second electrode (105), and the resistance value of which changes reversibly based on an electrical signal provided between the two electrodes (103, 105). The resistance change layer (104) is configured by lamination of a first tantalum oxide layer (107) that includes a first tantalum oxide and a second tantalum oxide layer (108) that includes a second tantalum oxide having an oxygen content different from the first tantalum oxide, and is configured to satisfy 0 < x < 2.5 when the first tantalum oxide is represented as TaOx and to satisfy x < y ≦ 2.5 when the second tantalum oxide is represented as TaOy. The second electrode (105) contacts the second tantalum oxide layer (108), and the second electrode (105) is composed of platinum and tantalum.
