Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 17:
18. A method of providing a conductive path, the method comprising:
providing a semiconductor device comprising—
a channel region having a first surface and a second opposed surface and comprising a compound having a transition metal and a chalcogen,
a first electrode and a second electrode in contact with the first surface of the channel region, the first and second electrodes comprising scandium;
a resistive layer positioned below the second surface of the channel region,
a third electrode in contact with the resistive layer, and
wherein the channel region has a thickness of about 8 to about 20 atomic layers;
applying a biasing voltage of about 50 to about 500 mV between the first electrode and the second electrode; and
applying a gate voltage between the third electrode and the second electrode.
