Abstract

Provided is a method for writing data in a nonvolatile storage element, wherein it is possible to inhibit the effects from fluctuations in resistance. The method involves: a first application step (S120) in which a first voltage pulse for changing the resistance state of a nonvolatile storage element (100) from a first state to a second state is applied; a second application step (S121) in which a second voltage pulse having the same polarity as the first voltage pulse and a smaller absolute voltage value than the first voltage pulse is applied; a determination step (S122) in which it is determined whether or not the resistance state of the nonvolatile storage element (100) is the second state; and a third application step (S123) in which a third voltage pulse for changing the resistance state of the nonvolatile storage element from the first state to the second state is applied when it is determined that the resistance state of the nonvolatile storage element (100) is not the second state.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a data writing method of a variable resistance nonvolatile memory element whose resistance value changes according to an applied electric signal, and a nonvolatile memory device implementing the method. Background technique [0002] In recent years, electronic devices such as portable information devices and home information appliances have achieved higher functionality along with the advancement of digital technology. Therefore, there are increasing demands for increasing the capacity, reducing the writing power, shortening the writing / reading time, and extending the life of the nonvolatile memory devices mounted in these devices. In response to such a request, since there is a limit to miniaturization of the conventional flash memory using a floating gate, there is a problem that it is difficult to increase the capacity. Therefore, research and development of a nonvolatile memory device including a variable resistanc...
