    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices related to techniques to access a self-selecting memory device are described. A self-selecting memory cell may store one or more bits of data represented by different threshold voltages of the self-selecting memory cell. A programming pulse may be varied to establish the different threshold voltages by modifying one or more time durations during which a fixed level of voltage or current is maintained across the self-selecting memory cell. The self-selecting memory cell may include a chalcogenide alloy. A non-uniform distribution of an element in the chalcogenide alloy may determine a particular threshold voltage of the self-selecting memory cell. The shape of the programming pulse may be configured to modify a distribution of the element in the chalcogenide alloy based on a desired logic state of the self-selecting memory cell.

    Abstract: In an example, a memory array may include a plurality of first dielectric materials and a plurality of stacks, where each respective first dielectric material and each respective stack alternate, and where each respective stack comprises a first conductive material and a storage material. A second conductive material may pass through the plurality of first dielectric materials and the plurality of stacks. Each respective stack may further include a second dielectric material between the first conductive material and the second conductive material.

    Abstract: The disclosed technology generally relates to integrated circuit devices, and in particular to cross-point memory arrays and methods for fabricating the same. Line stacks are formed, including a storage material line disposed over lower a conductive line. Upper conductive lines are formed over and crossing the line stacks, exposing portions of the line stacks between adjacent upper conductive lines. After forming the upper conductive lines, storage elements are formed at intersections between the lower conductive lines and the upper conductive lines by removing storage materials from exposed portions of the line stacks, such that each storage element is laterally surrounded by spaces. A continuous sealing material laterally surrounds each of the storage elements.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a memory cell. The memory cell may act both as a combined selector device and memory element. The memory cell may be programmed by applying write pulses having different polarities. Different polarities of the write pulses may program different logic states into the memory cell. The memory cell may be read by read pulses all having the same polarity. The logic state of the memory cell may be detected by observing different threshold voltages when the read pulses are applied. The different threshold voltages may be responsive to the different polarities of the write pulses.

    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: The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods related to program operations in memory. An example apparatus can perform a program operation on an array of memory cells by applying a first program signal to a first portion of the array of memory cells that are to remain in a first state in response to the program operation, wherein the first program signal programs memory cells to a second state and then to the first state.
