Abstract
Resistive memory cells containing nanoparticles are formed between two electrodes. The nanoparticles may be embedded in a matrix or sintered together without a matrix. The memory cells may be projected memory cells or barrier modulated cells. Polymeric ligands may be used to deposit the nanoparticles over a substrate, followed by an optional removal or replacement of the polymeric ligands.
