    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for data masking for memory are described. A memory device may set multiple data masking flags for associated memory array(s) at power-up. Each data masking flag may be associated with a respective page of memory cells and may indicate whether the data stored in the respective page is masked data, or whether the data is new, unmasked data. Data existing at a previous power-down may be masked until an initial write or activate command has been performed on the page after power-up, where the initial write or activate command may result in writing masked data, write data, or a combination thereof to the page. After previously stored data is overwritten to a page, the flag associated with the page may be reset, which may indicate that data stored at the page is available to be read.

    Abstract: At least one portion of a memory array may be arranged to provide high density non-volatile random access memory (HIGH DENSITY NON-VOLATILE RAM) while at least one other portion of the memory array may be arranged to provide dynamic random access memory (DRAM)-like memory. In some examples, the memory array may be arranged by programming one or more configuration devices. In some examples, the configuration device may include one or more switches to couple one or more memory cells to a sense amplifier. In some examples, the configuration device may include fuses and/or antifuses to couple one or more memory cells to a sense amplifier. In some examples, the portions of the memory array may be reconfigurable from one arrangement to another arrangement.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for switch and hold biasing for memory cell imprint recovery are described. A memory device may be configured to perform an imprint recovery procedure that includes applying one or more recovery pulses to memory cells, where each recovery pulse is associated with a voltage polarity and includes a first portion with a first voltage magnitude and a second portion with a second voltage magnitude that is lower than the first voltage magnitude. In some examples, the first voltage magnitude may correspond to a voltage that imposes a saturation polarization on a memory cell (e.g., on a ferroelectric capacitor, a polarization corresponding to the associated voltage polarity) and the second voltage magnitude may correspond to a voltage magnitude that is high enough to maintain the saturation polarization (e.g., to prevent a reduction of polarization) of the memory cell.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for memory management associated with charge leakage in a memory device are described. A memory device may identify a charge leakage associated with one or more memory cells or access lines, and may determine whether to invert a logic state stored by a memory cell or a set of memory cells to improve the likelihood that the memory cells are read properly in the presence of charge leakage. In some examples, the memory device may also store an indication that the complement of the detected logic state was written, such as a bit flip indication, which may correspond to one memory cell or a set of memory cells.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for biasing techniques, such as open page biasing techniques, are described. A memory cell may be accessed during an access phase of an access operation, for example, an open page access operation. An activate pulse may be applied to the memory cell during the access phase. The memory cell may be biased to a non-zero voltage after applying the activate pulse and before a pre-charge phase. The pre-charge phase of the access phase may be initiated after biasing the memory cell to the non-zero voltage.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for memory cell biasing techniques are described. A memory cell may be accessed during an access phase of an access operation. A pre-charge phase of the access phase may be initiated. The memory cell may be biased to a voltage (e.g., a non-zero voltage) after the pre-charge phase. In some examples, the memory cell may be biased to the voltage when a word line is unbiased and the memory cell is isolated from the digit line.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for read operations based on a dynamic reference are described. A memory device may include a set of memory cells each associated with a capacitive circuit including a first and second capacitor. After receiving a read command, the memory device may couple each capacitive circuit with a respective memory cell (e.g., to transfer a charge stored by each respective memory cell to a capacitive circuit) and may couple the second capacitor of each capacitive circuit to a reference voltage bus. Thus, a reference voltage on the reference voltage bus may be based on an average charge across the second capacitors of each capacitive circuit. The memory device may then compare a charge stored by the first and second capacitors of each capacitive circuit with the reference voltage bus and may output a set of values stored by the set of memory cells based on the comparing.
