Abstract

A variable resistance element includes a first electrode, a second electrode and an ion conduction layer interposed between the first and second electrodes. The ion conduction layer contains an organic oxide containing at least oxygen and carbon. The carbon concentration distribution in the ion conduction layer is such that the carbon concentration in an area closer to the first electrode is greater than that in an area closer to the second electrode.
