Abstract:
A method for programming a nonvolatile memory element includes: decreasing a resistance value of a variable resistance element in an initial state, by applying an initialization voltage pulse to a series circuit in which a load resistor having a first resistance value is connected in series with the variable resistance element and a MSM diode; applying, after the decreasing, a write voltage pulse to the series circuit after the resistance value of the variable resistance element is changed to a second resistance value lower than the first resistance value; and applying, after the decreasing, an erase voltage pulse to the series circuit after the resistance value of the variable resistance element is changed to a third resistance value lower than the first resistance value.
