Abstract: A storage device includes: a first conductive layer; a second conductive layer; and a resistance-variable layer disposed between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer, and including a first chalcogenide containing a first element which is either silicon or germanium. An insulating layer is disposed in a second direction perpendicular to a first direction from the first conductive layer to the second conductive layer with respect to the resistance-variable layer. A first region is disposed between the resistance-variable layer and the insulating layer, and has a third concentration of the first element higher than both a first concentration of the first element in the resistance-variable layer and a second concentration of the first element in the insulating layer.

Abstract: According to embodiments, a semiconductor memory device includes a first electrode, a second electrode, a memory cell, and a control circuit. The memory cell is provided between the first electrode and the second electrode and includes a metal film and a resistance change film. The control circuit applies a voltage between the first electrode and the second electrode to perform transition of a resistive state of the memory cell. The control circuit performs a first writing operation by applying a first pulse having a voltage of a first polarity to the memory cell and applying a second pulse having a voltage of the first polarity smaller than the voltage of the first pulse to the memory cell continuously after applying the first pulse.

Abstract: A storage device includes a first conductor, a resistance variable film, and a second conductor. The resistance variable film includes a first layer and a second layer. The second layer is located on a side opposite to the first conductor with respect to the first layer, contains oxygen, and has conductivity higher than that of the first layer. The second conductor includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion abuts on the second layer of the resistance variable film. The second portion is separated from the resistance variable film as compared to the first portion. The oxygen content of the first portion is higher than that of the second portion.
