Abstract:
1. A non-volatile register, comprising: a memory element positioned in at least one memory plane and including a first terminal, a second terminal, a conductive oxide including mobile oxygen ions, and an electrolytic tunnel barrier in contact with the conductive oxide, the conductive oxide and the electrolytic tunnel barrier are electrically in series with the first and second terminals; and a register logic fabricated on a substrate and operative to read data stored in the memory element during a read operation and to write data to the memory element during a write operation, the write operation operative to move a portion of the mobile oxygen ions between the conductive oxide and the electrolytic tunnel barrier to write the data, the at least one memory plane is fabricated directly above and in contact with the substrate, the register logic is electrically coupled with the first and second terminals of the memory element, the register logic including
