Abstract
A storage device includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and a resistance change storage layer between the first and second electrodes. The storage layer is either in a first resistance state or in a second resistance state having a resistance higher than the first resistance state and contains at least two elements selected from a group consisting of germanium, antimony, and tellurium. The storage device further includes an interface layer between the first electrode and the resistance change storage layer. The interface layer contains at least one of the elements of the resistance change storage layer and includes a conductive region and an insulating region.
