Abstract

Various embodiments of the present invention are direct to nanoscale, reconfigurable memristor devices. In one aspect, a memristor device (500,600) comprises an active region (508,610) sandwiched between a first electrode (301) and a second electrode (302). The active region including a non-volatile dopant region (506,608) selectively formed and positioned within the active region.
