    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for operating a ferroelectric memory cell or cells are described. A cell may be written with a value that is intended to convey a different logic state than may typically be associated with the value. For example, a cell that has stored a charge associated with one logic state for a time period may be re-written to store a different charge, and the re-written cell may still be read to have the originally stored logic state. An indicator may be stored in a latch to indicate whether the logic state currently stored by the cell is the intended logic state of the cell. A cell may, for example, be re-written with an opposite value periodically, based on the occurrence of an event, or based on a determination that the cell has stored one value (or charge) for a certain time period.

    Abstract: Memory systems and memory programming methods are described. According to one arrangement, a memory system includes a memory array comprising a plurality of memory cells individually configured to have a plurality of different memory states, access circuitry configured to apply signals to the memory cells to program the memory cells to the different memory states, and a controller to configured to control the access circuitry to apply a first of the signals to one of the memory cells to program the one memory cell from a first memory state to a second memory state different than the first memory state, to determine that the one memory cell failed to place into the second memory state as a result of the application of the first signal, and to control the access circuitry to apply a second signal to the one memory cell to program the one memory cell from the first memory state to the second memory state as a result of the determination, wherein the first and second signals have a different electrical characteristic.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for memory array operation are described. A series of pulses may be applied to a fatigued memory cell to improve performance of memory cell. For example, a ferroelectric memory cell may enter a fatigue state after a number of access operations are performed at an access rate. After the number of access operations have been performed at the access rate, a fatigue state of the ferroelectric memory cell may be identified and the series of pulses may be applied to the ferroelectric capacitor at a different (e.g., higher) rate. For instance, a delay between pulses of the series of pulses may be shorter than the delay between access operations of the ferroelectric memory cell.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for differential storage in memory arrays are described. A memory device may include pairs of memory cells configured to store a single logic state (e.g., a single bit of information). Additionally, the memory device may include sense amplifiers configured to sense the logic state based on a difference between a voltage of a first ferroelectric memory cell of the pair of memory cells and a voltage of a second ferroelectric memory cell of the pair of memory cells. In one example, the memory device may include pairs of memory cells within a single memory array on a single level. Here, each memory cell pair may include a memory cells that are each coupled with a same word line and plate line. Additionally, each memory cell pair may include memory cells each coupled with different digit lines.
