    Abstract: Resistance variable memory cells having a plurality of resistance variable materials and methods of operating and forming the same are described herein. As an example, a resistance variable memory cell can include a plurality of resistance variable materials located between a plug material and an electrode material. The resistance variable memory cell also includes a first conductive material that contacts the plug material and each of the plurality of resistance variable materials and a second conductive material that contacts the electrode material and each of the plurality of resistance variable materials.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for drift mitigation with embedded refresh are described. A memory cell may be written to and read from using write and read voltages, respectively, that are of different polarities. For example, a memory cell may be written to by applying a first write voltage and may be subsequently read from by applying a first read voltage of a first polarity. At least one additional (e.g., a second) read voltage—a setback voltage—of a second polarity may be utilized to return the memory cell to its original state. Thus the setback voltage may mitigate a shift in the voltage distribution of the cell caused by the first read voltage.

    Abstract: Phase change memory apparatuses include memory cells including phase change material, bit lines electrically coupled to aligned groups of at least some of the memory cells, and heating elements electrically coupled to the phase change material of the memory cells. The heating elements include vertical portions extending in a bit line direction. Additional phase change memory apparatuses include dummy columns positioned between memory columns and base contact columns. The dummy columns include phase change memory cells and lack heating elements coupled to the phase change memory cells thereof. Additional phase change memory apparatuses include heating elements operably coupled to phase change memory cells. An interfacial area between the heating elements and the phase change memory cells has a length that is independent of a bit line width. Methods relate to forming such phase change memory apparatuses.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include a construction having a first memory array deck and a second memory array deck over the first memory array deck. The second memory array deck differs from the first memory array deck in one or more operating characteristics, in pitch, and/or in one or more structural parameters; with the structural parameters including different materials and/or different thicknesses of materials. Some embodiments include a construction having a first series and a third series of access/sense lines extending along a first direction, and a second series of access/sense lines between the first and third series and extending along a second direction which crosses the first direction. First memory cells are between the first and second series of access/sense lines and arranged in a first memory array deck. Second memory cells are between the second and third series of access/sense lines and arranged in a second memory array deck.
