Abstract

A nonvolatile storage device is provided with a first electrode (103), a second electrode (106), and a variable-resistance layer (104). The variable-resistance layer (104) comprises: a first oxide layer (104a) comprising a first metallic oxide; a second oxide layer (104b) that is disposed between the first oxide layer (104a) and the second electrode (106) in contact therewith, that comprises a second metallic oxide, and that has a lower degree of oxygen deficiency compared to the first oxide layer (104a); and a local section (105) that is disposed within the first oxide layer (104a) and the second oxide layer (104b) in contact with the second electrode (106), that is not in contact with the first electrode (103), the degree of oxygen deficiency of which is high compared to that of the second oxide layer (104b), and the degree of oxygen deficiency of which is different from that of the first oxide layer (104a).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a nonvolatile memory element, and more particularly to a nonvolatile memory device including a variable resistance nonvolatile memory element whose resistance value changes reversibly in response to an applied electrical signal and non-volatile storage elements. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the development of digital technology for electrical equipment, there has been an increasing demand for large-capacity, non-volatile storage devices in order to store data such as music, images, and information. As one of the countermeasures to respond to such demands, a nonvolatile memory element whose resistance value changes according to an applied electrical signal and keeps this state is used for a nonvolatile memory device (hereinafter referred to as ReRAM) of a memory cell. Being noticed. This is due to the fact that the structure of the non-volatile storage element is relatively simple, it is easy to ...
