A memory includes a first bipolar transistor, a first bit line, and a first resistive memory element coupled between a collector of the first bipolar transistor and the first bit line. The memory includes a second bit line, a second resistive memory element coupled between an emitter of the first bipolar transistor and the second bit line, and a word line coupled to a base of the first bipolar transistor.
摘要:
A memory includes a phase-change memory cell and a circuit. The phase-change memory cell can be set to at least three different states including a substantially crystalline state, a substantially amorphous state, and at least one partially crystalline and partially amorphous state. The circuit applies a first voltage across the memory cell to determine whether the memory cell is set at the substantially crystalline state and applies a second voltage across the memory cell to determine whether the memory cell is set at a partially crystalline and partially amorphous state.
