    Abstract: A resistive random access memory array may be formed on the same substrate with a fuse array. The random access memory and the fuse array may use the same active material. For example, both the fuse array and the memory array may use a chalcogenide material as the active switching material. The main array may use a pattern of perpendicular sets of trench isolations and the fuse array may only use one set of parallel trench isolations. As a result, the fuse array may have a conductive line extending continuously between adjacent trench isolations. In some embodiments, this continuous line may reduce the resistance of the conductive path through the fuses.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for forming self-aligned memory structures are described. Aspects include etching a layered assembly of materials including a first conductive material and a first sacrificial material to form a first set of channels along a first direction that creates a first set of sections. An insulative material may be deposited within each of the first set of channels and a second sacrificial material may be deposited onto the first set of sections and the insulating material. A second set of channels may be etched into the layered assembly of materials along a second direction that creates a second set of sections, where the second set of channels extend through the first and second sacrificial materials. Insulating material may be deposited in the second set of channels and the sacrificial materials removed leaving a cavity. A memory material may be deposited in the cavity.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for operating a vertical memory architecture are described. A memory device may include memory cells arranged in a three-dimensional vertical memory architecture. Each memory cell may include a storage element (e.g., a chalcogenide material), where a logic state may be programmed at the storage element based on a polarity of an applied voltage that exceeds a threshold voltage. The storage element may be coupled with a selection element and a conductive line. The selection element may be coupled with a bit line decoder and a word line decoder via vertical pillars. The selection element may selectively couple the storage element with the bit line decoder. In some examples, an activation voltage for the selection element may be less than a threshold voltage of the storage element.

Sub-blocks containing sockets for an access line may be separated by a period based on the access line.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for reading a multi-level memory cell are described. The memory cell may be configured to store three or more logic states. The memory device may apply a first read voltage to a memory cell to determine a logic state stored by the memory cell. The memory device may determine whether a first snapback event occurred and apply a second read voltage based on determining that the first snapback event failed to occur based on applying the first read voltage. The memory device may determine whether a second snapback event occurred and determine the logic state based on whether the first snapback event or the second snapback event occurred.
