Abstract

To provide a resistance change element which does not require a forming process and enables reduction of power consumption and miniaturization of the element, and to provide a method for producing it. A resistance change element 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a bottom electrode layer 3, a top electrode layer 5 and an oxide semiconductor layer 4. The oxide semiconductor layer 4 has a first metal oxide layer 41 and a second metal oxide layer 42. The first metal oxide layer 41 is formed between the bottom electrode layer 3 and the top electrode layer 5, and in ohmic contact with the bottom electrode layer 3. The second metal oxide layer 42 is formed between the first metal oxide layer 41 and the top electrode layer 5, and in ohmic contact with the top electrode layer 5.
