Abstract
A resistive switching memory element including a doped silicon electrode is described, including a first electrode comprising doped silicon having a first work function, a second electrode having a second work function that is different from the first work function by between 0.1 and 1.0 electron volts (eV), a metal oxide layer between the first electrode and the second electrode, the metal oxide layer switches using bulk-mediated switching and has a bandgap of greater than 4 eV, and the memory element switches from a low resistance state to a high resistance state and vice versa.
