Abstract
Memristive devices, memristors and methods for fabricating memristive devices are disclosed. In one aspect, a memristor includes a first electrode wire and a second electrode wire. The second electrode wire and the first electrode wire define an overlap area. The memristor includes an electrode extension in contact with the first electrode wire and disposed between the first and second electrode wires. At least one junction is disposed between the second electrode wire and the electrode extension. Each junction contacts a portion of the electrode extension and has a junction contact area with the second electrode wire, and the sum total junction contact area of the at least one junction is less than the overlap area.
