Patent attributes
A resistance-changing function body includes an object made of a first substance and interposed between a first electrode and a second electrode, and a plurality of particles made of a second substance and arranged within the object so that an electrical resistance between the first electrode and the second electrode is changed before and after application of a specified voltage to between the first electrode and the second electrode. The first substance makes an electrical barrier against the second substance. With this constitution, by applying a specified voltage to between the first electrode and the second electrode, the electrical resistance can be changed depending on a state of the particles made of the second substance. Also, by virtue of a simple structure, a resistance-changing function body of small size is provided with low cost.
