Patent ID: 7928419

Claim:
A solid electrolyte device comprising: an amorphous chalcogenide solid active electrolytic layer; a first metallic layer; a second metallic layer and wherein the amorphous chalcogenide solid active electrolytic layer is located between the first and second metallic layers and wherein the amorphous chalcogenide solid active electrolytic layer is prepared by obtaining a solution of a precursor to a metal chalcogenide or a precursor to a metalloid chalcogenide; applying the solution onto a substrate; and thereafter annealing the precursor to convert the precursor to the metal chalcogenide or metalloid chalcogenide, and further comprising an inter-level dielectric with imbedded metal wires located beneath the amorphous chalcogenide solid electrolytic layer and wherein the said imbedded metal wires comprise the first metallic layer.
