A programmable resistive memory element and a method of adjusting a resistance of a programmable resistive memory element are provided. The programmable resistive memory element includes at least one resistive memory element. Each resistive memory element includes an Indium-Gallium-Zinc-Oxide (IGZO) resistive layer, a first electrical contact and a second electrical contact. The first and second electrical contacts are disposed on the IGZO resistive layer in the same plane. The programmable resistive memory element includes a voltage generator coupled to the first and second electrical contacts, constructed and arranged to apply a thermal treatment to the resistive memory element to adjust a resistance of the resistive memory element.

A synapse crossbar array device is provided. The synapse crossbar array device includes a plurality of Indium-Gallium-Zinc-Oxide (IGZO) thin film transistors (TFTs) and a plurality of IGZO resistive synapses. Each IGZO resistive synapse includes a IGZO resistive layer, a first electrical contact electrically coupled to one of the plurality of IGZO TFTs and a second electrical contact electrically connected to one of a plurality of column connection lines. The first electrical contact and the second electrical contact of each IGZO resistive synapse are disposed on the IGZO resistive layer of the resistive synapse. The synapse crossbar array device includes IGZO resistive synapses that have, each of them, an established resistance value. The synapse crossbar array may be fully transparent and may be integrated into the displays with which portable devices are provided.

Synapse array

A phase-change material based resistive memory contains a resistive layer and two electrical contacts. After fabrication the memory is subjected to thermal treatment which initiates a transition toward a crystalline state favoring in this way the subsequent obtaining of a large number of resistive memory states.
