    摘要: An integrated circuit includes a memory cell with a resistance changing memory element. The resistance changing memory element includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and a resistivity changing material disposed between the first and second electrodes, where the resistivity changing material is configured to change resistive states in response to application of a voltage or current to the first and second electrodes. In addition, at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode comprises an insulator material including a self-assembled electrically conductive element formed within the insulator material. The self-assembled electrically conductive element formed within the insulator material remains stable throughout the operation of switching the resistivity changing material to different resistive states.

    摘要: One embodiment of the invention relates to a method for conditioning resistive memory cells of a memory array with a number of reliable resistance ranges, where each reliable resistance range corresponds to a different data state. In the method, group of at least one resistive memory cell is accessed, which group includes at least one unreliable cell. At least one pulse is applied to the at least one unreliable cell to shift at least one resistance respectively associated with the at least one unreliable cell to the highest of the reliable resistance ranges. Other methods and systems are also disclosed.
