Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device comprising a memory element, the memory element comprising: a first conductive layer; a first semiconductor layer formed over the first conductive layer; an organic compound layer over and being in direct contact with the first semiconductor layer, the organic compound layer being a single layer; a second semiconductor layer over and being in direct contact with the organic compound layer; and a second conductive layer formed over the second semiconductor layer, wherein the organic compound layer comprises an electron-transporting material or a hole-transporting material, and wherein each of the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer comprises an inorganic semiconductor selected from molybdenum oxide, tin oxide, bismuth oxide, silicon, vanadium oxide, nickel oxide, zinc oxide, silicon germanium, gallium arsenide, gallium nitride, indium oxide, indium phosphide, indium nitride, cadmium sulfide, cadmium telluride, and strontium titanate.
