Abstract

Resistive switches and related methods are provided. Such a resistive switch includes an active material in contact with opposite end electrodes. The active material defines electron traps that capture or release charges in accordance with applied switching voltages. Resistive switches are characterized by ON state and OFF state resistance curves. Resistance ratios of ten times or more are exhibited. The state of a resistive switch is determined using sensing voltages lesser then the switching threshold.
