Abstract
Systems and methodologies are provided for of enabling a polymer memory cell to exhibit variable retention times for stored data therein. Such setting of retention time can depend upon a programming mode and/or type of material employed in the polymer memory cell. Short retention times can be obtained by programming the polymer memory cell via a low current or a low electrical field. Similarly, long retention times can be obtained by employing a high current or electrical field to program the polymer memory cell.
