Patent ID: 7525410

Claim:
An electric circuit comprising: a plurality of atomic switches, each atomic switch including a first electrode made of a compound conductive material which is Ag 2 S, Ag 2 Se, Cu 2 S, or Cu 2 Se, including mobile ions, and having ionic conductivity and electric conductivity, and a second electrode made of a conductive substance configured to control conductance between the first and second electrodes, and to be spaced apart from the first electrode, wherein the mobile ions can form a bridge between the first and second electrodes at least one NOT circuit, each NOT circuit including one of the plurality of atomic switches, and a resistor and a capacitor, each of which serves as a two-terminal device; at least one AND circuit configured to use one of the plurality of the atomic switches; and an OR circuit configured to use one of the plurality of the atomic switches.
