A re-recordable data storage medium is disclosed. One embodiment of the
medium includes a dielectric material and a filler material. The
dielectric material is organized in columnar channels over which memory
cells are logically distributed. The filler material is within the
columnar channels to realize the memory cells. The filler material of
each memory cell has at least a first configuration and a second
configuration. The first configuration corresponds to a first storable
logical value, and the second configuration corresponds to a second
storable logical value.
