Abstract
An electronic device includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and a memory component configured to store a resistive state. The memory component includes a layered region arranged in direct contact with the first electrode and a bulk region arranged in direct contact with the second electrode. The layered region includes a plurality of first layers made of a first material and a plurality of second layers made of a second material alternatingly arranged with one another. The first material is a phase-change material and the second material is a non-phase-change material. The bulk region is a continuous mass made of a third material that is different than the first material and the second material, and the bulk region is in direct contact with at least two of the first layers and at least one of the second layers of the layered region.
