Abstract
A nanoporous (NP) memory may include a non-porous layer and a nanoporous layer sandwiched between the bottom and top electrodes. The memory may be free of diodes, selectors, and/or transistors that may be necessary in other memories to mitigate crosstalk. The nanoporous material of the nanoporous layer may be a metal oxide, metal chalcogenide, or a combination thereof. Further, the memory may lack any additional components. Further, the memory may be free from requiring an electroformation process to allow switching between ON/OFF states.
