Memory devices with active and passive layers having multiple self-assembled sublayers
View Patent ↗The present memory device includes first and second electrodes, an active layer and a passive layer, the active and passive layers being between the first and second electrodes, with either or both of the active layer and passive layer being made up a plurality of self-assembled sublayers.
1. A memory device comprising:
first and second electrodes;
an active layer;
a passive layer;
the active and passive layers being between the first and second electrodes;
at least one of the active and passive layers comprising a plurality of sublayers, wherein at least one of the plurality of sublayers is a self-assembled sublayer of the passive layer, wherein at least one sublayer of the plurality thereof is a positively charged sublayer and at least another sublayer of the plurality thereof is a negatively charged sublayer.
2. The memory device of claim 1 wherein the self-assembled sublayer is a charged sublayer.
3. The memory device of claim 1 wherein each sublayer of the plurality thereof is a self-assembled sublayer.
4. The memory device of claim 3 wherein the sublayers of the plurality thereof are alternately positively and negatively charged.
5. A memory device comprising:
first and second electrodes;
an active layer;
a passive layer;
the active and passive layers being between the first and second electrodes;
wherein the passive layer comprises a plurality of sublayers, wherein at least one sub layer of the plurality thereof is a self-assembled sublayer.
6. The memory device of claim 5 wherein each sublayer of the plurality thereof is a self-assembled sublayer.
7. The memory device of claim 6 wherein at Least one sublayer of the plurality thereof is a positively charged sublayer and at least another sublayer of the plurality thereof is a negatively charged sublayer.
8. The memory device of claim 7 wherein the sublayers of the plurality thereof are alternately positively and negatively charged.
9. A memory device comprising:
first and second electrodes; and
a layer between the first and second electrodes, the layer comprising a plurality of sublayers, wherein at least one of the plurality of sublayers is a self-assembled sublayer of a passive layer, wherein the sub layers of the plurality thereof are alternately positively and negatively charged.
10. The memory device of claim 9 wherein each sublayer of the plurality thereof is a self-assembled sublayer.
