Enhanced Electrodeposit Growth Rate in Oxide-Based Lateral Programmable Metallization Cell Devices
­Background Lateral Programmable Metallization Cell (PMC) structures have a wide range of potential applications. These devices rely on the electrodeposition of metal in a channel comprising a solid electrolyte between a pair of electrodes – an oxidizable anode that supplies metal ions, and a cathode that supplies electrons to the redox-based...

Non-Volatile Timing Device
Timing devices are important for a variety of applications, ranging from defense technologies to consumer electronics. Solid state timers are a popular option, but are volatile, meaning that they do not retain their state during a loss of power. Additionally, many timers are susceptible to interference or damage from radiation. This prevents the timers...

Dendritic Electrode Formation Via Liquid Overlayers
Electrical structures which interact with light, such as solar cells and optical sensors, generally employ electrodes to collect a generated current (or to apply an external field) however, the electrode designs commonly used suffer from a number of disadvantages. For example, the wide spacing of electrodes in conventional solar cells, necessary to...

Tunable MEMS Devices
MEMS microphones have become very popular in commercialized products in recent years, and one of the greatest demands currently is for directionality. This requires that multiple microphones be matched with great precision, but there is generally some degree of mismatch even when the microphones are manufactured very carefully. Existing techniques for...
