    Abstract: In the examples provided herein, a device is described that has a stack of structure layers including a first structure layer and a second structure layer that are different materials, where the first structure layer is positioned higher in the stack than the second structure layer. The device also has a first sidewall spacer deposited conformally and circumferentially around an upper portion of the stack that includes the first structure layer. Further, the device has a second sidewall spacer deposited conformally and circumferentially around the first sidewall spacer and an additional portion of the stack that includes the second structure layer, where a height of the first sidewall spacer along the stack is different from a height of the second sidewall spacer.

    Abstract: A method includes applying a voltage bump across a combined memory device comprising a volatile selector switch and a nonvolatile switch, in which the voltage bump changes a state of the volatile selector switch from a high resistance to a low resistance but does not change a state of the nonvolatile switch. A read voltage that is lower than the voltage bump across the combined memory device to read a state of the nonvolatile switch.

    Abstract: A multiphase selector includes a first electrode, a switching layer coupled to the first electrode, a capping layer coupled to the switching layer, and a second electrode coupled to the capping layer. The switching layer may include a matrix having a first, relatively insulating phase of a transition metal oxide; a second, relatively conducting phase of the transition metal oxide dispersed in the matrix; and a catalyst, located within the matrix, to interact with the first phase of the transition metal oxide to selectively form and position the second phase of the transition metal oxide within the matrix.

    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure a method of determining a state of a memristor in a crossbar array is described. In the method a bias voltage is applied to a target row line in the crossbar array, which bias voltage causes a bias current to pass through a target memristor along the target row line. The bias voltage is increased by a predetermined amount to a state voltage. A state current flowing through the target memristor is determined. The state current is based on the state voltage. A state of the target memristor is determined based on the state current.
