Abstract
Subject matter herein disclosed relates to an improved CEM switching device and methods for its manufacture. In this device, a conductive substrate and/or conductive overlay comprises a primary layer of a conductive material and a secondary layer of a conductive material. The primary layer contacting the CEM layer is substantially inert to the CEM layer and/or acts as an oxygen barrier for the secondary layer at temperatures used for the manufacture of the device.
