Abstract
An amorphous metal thin-film non-linear resistor (AMNR) is provided. The AMNR is an electronic device possessing symmetric non-linear current-voltage (I-V) characteristics, an exemplary configuration of which may comprise three sequentially deposited layers which include a lower amorphous metal thin-film (AMTF) interconnect, a thin-film insulator located on top of the AMTF interconnect, and two upper conductive contacts located on top of the insulator and disposed in the same physical plane.
