    摘要: An integrated circuit (IC) device can include static random access memory (SRAM) cells that each include a pair of latching devices, and first and second resistive elements disposed over the latching devices. The first resistive element can be conductively connected to a first data latching node by a first vertical connection. The second resistive element can be conductively connected to a second data latching node by a second vertical connection. Each resistive element can include at least one memory layer that is capable of being programmed between at least a high and lower resistance state by application of electric fields, the resistive elements having only the high resistance state.
