Abstract
A switching device has a bottom conductor, a top conductor, and a device body formed between the top and bottom conductors. The device body has a switching layer that is switchable by means of current passed through the device body and between the top and bottom conductors. A lower via connects the bottom conductor to the device body. The width of the lower via is smaller than a width of the device body.
