Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a resistive nonvolatile memory element having an electric current path which can be realized by a simple and convenient process, and capable of allowing for micro-fabrication. The resistive nonvolatile memory element of the present invention includes first electrode, oxide semiconductor layerwhich is formed on the first electrodeand the resistance of which is altered depending on the applied voltage, metal nanoparticleshaving a diameter of between 2 nm and 10 nm arranged on the oxide semiconductor layer, tunnel barrier layerformed on the oxide semiconductor layerand on the metal nanoparticles, and second electrodeformed on the tunnel barrier layer, in which the metal nanoparticlesare in contact with the oxide semiconductor layer
