Abstract
A memory includes a first electrode and a second electrode formed within a first layer and includes a third electrode and a fourth electrode formed within a second layer. The memory includes a resistive-switching memory element and an antifuse element. The resistive-switching memory element includes a metal oxide layer and is disposed between the first electrode and the third electrode. The metal oxide layer has a first thickness and a forming voltage that corresponds to the first thickness. The antifuse element includes a dielectric layer and is disposed between the second electrode and the fourth electrode. The dielectric layer has a second thickness that is less than the first thickness and a dielectric breakdown voltage that is less than the forming voltage.
