Abstract

In a nonvolatile memory element, when a voltage value of an electric pulse has a relationship of V2>V1>0 V>V3>V4 and a resistance value of a variable resistance layer has a relationship of R3>R2>R4>R1, the resistance value of the variable resistance layer becomes: R2, when the electric pulse having a voltage value of V2 or greater is applied between electrodes; R4, when the electric pulse having a voltage value of V4 or smaller is applied between the electrodes; R3, when the resistance value of the variable resistance layer is R2 and the electric pulse having a voltage value of V3 is applied between the electrodes; and R1, when the resistance value of the variable resistance layer is R4 and the electric pulse having a voltage value of V1 is applied between the electrodes.
