    Abstract: A memory decoder enables the selection of a conductor of a row or column of a crosspoint array memory. The decoder includes a circuit to apply a bias voltage to select or deselect the conductor. The conductor can be either a wordline or a bitline. The decoder also includes a select device to selectively provide both high voltage bias and low voltage bias to the circuit to enable the circuit to apply the bias voltage. Thus, a single end device provides either rail to the bias circuit.

    Abstract: Described herein are multi-deck memory devices with an inverted deck. For example, in one embodiment a memory device includes a first deck of memory cells including layers of material, including a layer of storage material and a layer of selector material, and a second deck of memory cells over the first deck of memory cells, the second deck comprising layers of material in an order opposite relative to the first deck. In one such embodiment, conductive bitlines located between the first and second decks are common to both decks. Inverting the second deck can enable operating the decks symmetrically despite accessing the decks with opposite polarity voltages.
