Abstract
Methods for controlling the resistance of a controllable resistive element include determining an amount of electrical resistance change for the controllable resistive element. A concentration difference is determined for a charge carrier ion in a resistor layer of the controllable resistance element that corresponds to the electrical resistance change for the controllable resistive element. A duration and amplitude of a current pulse is determined that changes the charge carrier ion concentration by the determined difference. A positive or negative current pulse is applied to a controllable resistive element for the determined duration.
