Abstract
A non-volatile memory device includes: an insulation layer; a PN diode, which is formed in a monocrystalline silicon layer, a monocrystalline germanium layer or a monocrystalline gallium arsenide layer on the insulation layer; a writing wire which is conductive and is electrically connected to the anode end of the PN diode; a memory unit on the PN diode, the memory unit being electrically connected to a cathode end of the PN diode; and a selection wire on the memory unit, the selection wire being electrically connected to the memory unit; wherein when the non-volatile memory device is selected for a data to be written into, a first current flows through the PN diode to write the data into the memory unit.
