A microelectronic device is designed such that it includes a region between electrodes having a switchable ohmic resistance wherein the region is made of a substance comprising components A , B , and oxygen O . The ohmic resistance in the region is reversibly switchable between different states by applying different voltage pulses. The different voltage pulses lead to the respective different states. An appropriate amount of dopant(s) in the substance improves the switching, whereby the microelectronic device becomes controllable and reliable.

Microelectronic device for storing information with switchable ohmic resistance

There is provided a method for fabricating an organic light emitting device. The method includes depositing a first electrode layer on a substrate, depositing an electrically insulating layer on the first electrode layer, depositing a second electrode layer on the insulating layer, depositing an organic layer on the second electrode layer, forming an aperture in the organic layer, depositing a light transmissive electrically conductive layer on the organic layer, and forming an electrical connection between the conductive layer and one of the first and second electrode layers via the aperture.

Organic light emitting devices

An organic light emitting device has a layer structure having: a first electrode layer; a second electrode layer parallel to the first electrode layer; and, an electrically conductive and light transmissive layer parallel to the second electrode layer. An electrically insulating layer is disposed between the first and second electrode layers. A layer of organic material is disposed between the second electrode layer and the conductive layer. An aperture in the organic layer provides an electrical connection path between the conductive layer and one of the first and second electrode layers.
