Summary:One or more embodiments disclosed herein describe a nonvolatile, analog programmable resistive memory with a plurality of memory states. The programmable resistive memory includes a substrate, an IGZO resistive layer and electrical contacts. The electrical contacts are deposited on the IGZO layer, in the same plane. The electrical contacts may have various shapes in order to obtain spatially variable distances between the electrical contacts. The resistance of the resistive memory can be brought from an initial low value to a plurality of various higher values by applying electrical voltage pulses with various durations and various amplitudes and/or by applying one or more DC voltage sweeps. Also, the high voltage limit during the DC voltage sweeps could be set at values ranging from few volts to few tens of volts. In this manner, the IGZO programmable resistive memory could be set in a plurality of memory states.
