16. Stasiak teaches further that "[t]he electron donor or acceptor
functional groups, of the present invention, can be associated with a dopant
molecule, pendant groups of a polymer, or the polymer main chain itself."
(Stasiak at 2, ¶ 23.)
Krieger
17. Krieger teaches memory devices comprising a three layer structure
consisting of two electrodes with a functional zone between them. (Krieger
at 2, ¶ 17.)
18. According to Krieger, the electrodes may be metallic. (Krieger at 2,
¶ 17.)
19. Krieger teaches further that the functional zone can comprise an active
layer based on organic materials, including polymers, that may contain, inter
alia, ions, clusters of solid electrolytes, donor and acceptor molecules,
molecules that can dissociate in an electric field or on exposure to light.
(Krieger at 2, ¶ 19.)
20. In Krieger's words:
[t]he described implementation of the functional zone allows to
create a structure capable of changing the active layer resistance
and/or forming high conductivity areas or lines in the active
layer under external electric and/or light radiation effect on the
memory cell and retaining this state for a long time without
applying external electric fields.
(Krieger at 2, ¶ 19.)
Gold
21. According to Gold, "Chemical reactions are characterized by a
chemical change, and they yield one or more products which are, in general,
different from the reactants. Classically, chemical reactions encompass
