An electromechanical diode nonvolatile memory cell design is proposed for implementation of compact (4F2) cross-point memory arrays. The first prototype cells are demonstrated to operate with relatively low set/reset voltages and excellent retention characteristics and are multi-time programmable (with endurance exceeding 104 set/reset cycles).
