Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed are a memory device and a memory apparatus including the memory device. The memory device may include a first electrode, a second electrode spaced apart from the first electrode, an intermediate layer between the first electrode and the second electrode, and an interface layer in contact with the intermediate layer. The intermediate layer and the interface layer each may have ovonic threshold switching (OTS) characteristics. A material of the interface layer may have a threshold voltage shift greater than a threshold voltage shift (A Vth) of the intermediate layer.
