Abstract

In a variable resistance nonvolatile storage element, an electrode suitable for a variable resistance operation and formed of a metallic nitride layer containing Ti and N is provided. In a nonvolatile storage device including: a first electrode; a second electrode; and a variable resistance layer which is sandwiched between the first electrode and the second electrode and in which a resistance value changes to two different resistance states, at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode is an electrode including a metallic nitride layer containing at least Ti and N, and a mole ratio (N/Ti ratio) between Ti and N in at least a part of the metallic nitride layer, the part being in contact with the variable resistance layer is 1.15 or more and a film density is 4.7 g/cc or more.
