A monolithic three dimensional memory array is provided that includes a first memory level formed above a substrate, and a second memory level monolithically formed above the first memory level. The first memory level includes a first plurality of substantially parallel, substantially coplanar conductors extending in a first direction, a second plurality of substantially parallel, substantially coplanar conductors extending in a second direction, the second direction different from the first direction, the second conductors above the first conductors, and a first plurality of devices. Each of the first plurality of devices is disposed between one of the first conductors and one of the second conductors, and includes a resistivity-switching binary metal oxide or nitride compound and a silicon, germanium, or silicon-germanium alloy resistor of a single conductivity type. Numerous other aspects are provided.
