First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of forming an ionic structure, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a substrate;
forming a first electrode overlying the substrate;
forming an ion conductor proximate the first electrode; and
forming a second electrode proximate the ion conductor, wherein at least one of the step of forming a first electrode, the step of forming an ion conductor, and the step of forming a second electrode is performed using a printing technique.

Abstract
An ionic structure, including a plurality of electrodes and an ion conductor, wherein at least one of the electrodes and the ion conductor is formed using a printing technique and a method of forming and using the structure are disclosed. Electrical properties of the structure may be altered by applying energy to the structure, and thus information may be stored using the structure. The structure may also be used to form an electrical connection within portions of a device and/or between devices.
