Abstract
Systems and methodologies are provided for activating a polymer memory cell(s) after production by subjecting the polymer memory cell to an electrical field, for an initialization thereof. Such initialization can facilitate the distribution and mobility of metal ions (or charged metallic molecules) within an active layer of the polymer memory cell. The memory cell can include various layers of alternating passive and active media, which are sandwiched between conducting electrode layers.
