Abstract
A self-repairing memristor and methods of operating a memristor, and repairing a memristor, employ thermal annealing. The thermal annealing removes a short circuit in an oxide layer, of the memristor. Thermal annealing includes heating the memristor, to a predetermined annealing temperature for a predetermined annealing time period. The memristor, returns to an electrically open circuit condition after the short circuit is removed.
