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: Some embodiments include an integrated assembly having first electrodes with top surfaces, and with sidewall surfaces extending downwardly from the top surfaces. The first electrodes are solid pillars. Insulative material is along the sidewall surfaces of the first electrodes. Second electrodes extend along the sidewall surfaces of the first electrodes and are spaced from the sidewall surfaces by the insulative material. Conductive-plate-material extends across the first and second electrodes, and couples the second electrodes to one another. Leaker-devices electrically couple the first electrodes to the conductive-plate-material and are configured to discharge at least a portion of excess charge from the first electrodes to the conductive-plate-material. Some embodiments include methods of forming integrated assemblies.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for preventing disturb of untargeted memory cells during repeated access operations of target memory cells are described for a non-volatile memory array. Multiple memory cells may be in electronic communication with a common conductive line, and each memory cell may have an electrically non-linear selection component. Following an access operation (e.g., a read or write operation) of a target memory cell, untargeted memory cells may be discharged by applying a discharge voltage to the common conductive line. The discharge voltage may have a polarity opposite to the access voltage. A delay may be instituted between access attempts in order to discharge the untargeted memory cells.
