Abstract: The present disclosure includes memory cells having resistors, and methods of forming the same. An example method includes forming a first conductive line, forming a second conductive line, and forming a memory element between the first conductive line and the second conductive line. Forming the memory element can include forming one or more memory materials, and forming a resistor in series with the one or more memory materials. The resistor can be configured to reduce a capacitive discharge through the memory element during a state transition of the memory element.

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.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a memory cell including a memory element and a selector device. The memory cell may be programmed with a programming pulse having a first polarity and read with a read pulse having a second polarity. The memory cell may be programmed with a programming pulse having first and second portions. The first and second portions may have different magnitudes and polarities. The memory cell may exhibit reduced voltage drift and/or threshold voltage distribution. Described herein is a memory cell that acts as both a memory element and a selector device. The memory cell may be programmed with a programming pulse having first and second portions. The first and second portions may have different magnitudes and polarities.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a memory array having a first memory cell adjacent to a second memory cell along a lateral direction. The second memory cell is vertically offset relative to the first memory cell. Some embodiments include a memory array having a series of data/sense lines extending along a first direction, a series of access lines extending along a second direction, and memory cells vertically between the access lines and data/sense lines. The memory cells are arranged in a grid having columns along the first direction and rows along the second direction. Memory cells in a common column and/or row as one another are arranged in two alternating sets, with a first set having memory cells at a first height and a second set having memory cells at a second height vertically offset relative to the first height. Some embodiments include methods of forming memory arrays.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a fuse having a tungsten-containing structure directly contacting an electrically conductive structure. The electrically conductive structure may be a titanium-containing structure. An interface between the tungsten-containing structure and the electrically conductive structure is configured to rupture when current through the interface exceeds a predetermined level. Some embodiments include a method of forming and using a fuse. The fuse is formed to have a tungsten-containing structure directly contacting an electrically conductive structure. An interface between the tungsten-containing structure and the electrically conductive structure is configured to rupture when current through the interface exceeds a predetermined level. Current exceeding the predetermined level is passed through the interface to rupture the interface.
