Abstract

A method of driving a variable resistance element includes: a writing step performed by applying a writing voltage pulse having a first polarity to a variable resistance layer to change a resistance state of the layer from high to low; and an erasing step performed by applying an erasing voltage pulse having a second polarity to the layer to change the state from low to high. Here, |Vw|>|Vw| where Vwrepresents a voltage value of the writing voltage pulse for first to N-th writing steps (N≧1) and Vwrepresents a voltage value of the writing voltage pulse for (N+1)-th and subsequent writing steps, and |Ve|>|Ve| where Verepresents a voltage value of the erasing voltage pulse for first to M-th erasing steps (M≧1) and Verepresents a voltage value of the erasing voltage pulse for (M+1)-th and subsequent erasing steps. The (N+1)-th writing step follows the M-th erasing step.
