Abstract

A memory cell made of two electrodes with a controllably conductive media between the two electrodes is disclosed. The controllably conductive media contains an active low conductive layer and passive layer. The controllably conductive media changes its impedance when an external stimuli such as an applied electric field is imposed thereon. Methods of making the memory devices/cells, methods of using the memory devices/cells, and devices such as computers containing the memory devices/cells are also disclosed.
