MEMORY UNIT ELEMENT WHICH STRUCTURE IS METAL- INSULATOR-METAL Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: methods of micro- and nanotechnology. SUBSTANCE: device has two metal electrodes which are separated by insulating space, and carbon particles which are located in space in environment which has organic material. Said structure provides access of organic material molecules to space. Space is designed as gap which has no metal particles. Its width is in range of 2-100 nm. Metal electrodes may be separated by solid dielectric layer which provides layered structure. In this case end of dielectric layer is open for access of organic material molecules. Depth of dielectric layer determines gap width. EFFECT: increased functional capabilities. 2 cl, 4 dwg
