            Abstract : 
We examined the ON-state reliability of a solid electrolyte resistive switch,named ldquoNanoBridgerdquo, for programmable logic application. We found a trade-off between turn-off current and ON-state reliability and optimized the ON conductance. Through this optimization, we obtained high durability against DC current of ~0.2 mA at 105degC for 10 years and low turn-off current less than 5 mA. NanoBridge can thus meet the requirements for programmable logic applications.
