To provide enhanced data storage devices and systems, various systems, architectures, apparatuses, and methods, are provided herein. In a first example, a resistive memory device is provided. The resistive memory device comprises a substrate, and an active region having resistance properties that can be modified to store one or more data bits, the active region comprising region of the substrate with a chemically altered reduction level to establish a resistive memory property in the substrate. The resistive memory device comprises terminals formed into the substrate and configured to couple the active region to associated electrical contacts.
