Methods for making electronic devices where a molecular monolayer or multilayer is sandwiched between top and bottom electrodes at electrode intersections. The molecular layer has an electrical characteristic such as bistable switching. A layer of electrically conductive material is used to protect the molecular layer during formation of the top electrode pattern. The electrically conductive material remains sandwiched between the top and bottom electrodes at the electrode intersections in the final electronic device.
The invention includes a switchable circuit device. The device comprises a first conductive layer and a porous silicon matrix over the first conductive layer. A material is dispersed within pores of the porous silicon matrix, and the material has two stable states. A second conductive layer is formed over the porous silicon matrix. A current flow between the first and second conductive layers is influenced by which of the stable states the material is in.
