Latest Patents

The available information identifies one patent for Thakoor: “Solid-state non-volatile electronically programmable reversible variable” resistance device. The invention describes a device whose resistance can be repeatedly adjusted by an electrical control signal and remain stable after the signal is removed.

The device uses electrodes connected by a resistance-changing material, alongside layers that allow ions to move from an ion-donor material. In a preferred embodiment, the resistance-changing layer is tungsten trioxide (WO₃), the ion-donor layer is chromium oxide (Cr₂O₃), and silicon monoxide layers provide insulation while permitting ion passage. Applying a positive voltage to the control gate decreases resistance between the electrodes, while a negative voltage increases it. This design offers a way to store information through persistent changes in electrical resistance.
