Abstract
Subject matter disclosed herein may relate to fabrication of correlated electron materials used, for example, to perform a switching function. In embodiments, a correlated electron material may be doped using dopant species derived from one or more precursors utilized to fabricate nearby structures such as, for example, a conductive substrate or a conductive overlay.
