    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for operating memory cell(s) are described. A resistance of a storage element included in a memory cell may be programmed by applying a voltage to the memory cell that causes ion movement within the storage element, where the storage element remains in a single phase and has different resistivity based on a location of the ions within the storage element. In some cases, multiple of such storage elements may be included in a memory cell, where ions within the storage elements respond differently to electric pulses, and a non-binary logic value may be stored in the memory cell by applying a series of voltages or currents to the memory cell.

    Abstract: A method of forming an array of memory cells, where the array comprises an elevationally-inner tier of memory cells comprising spaced-inner-tier-lower-first-conductive lines and inner-tier-programmable material directly there-above, an elevationally-outer tier of memory cells comprising spaced-outer-tier-lower-first-conductive lines and outer-tier-programmable material directly there-above, and spaced-upper-second-conductive lines that are electrically shared by the outer-tier memory cells and the inner-tier memory cells, comprises depositing conductor material for all of the shared-spaced-upper-second-conductive lines. All of the conductor material for all of the shared-spaced-upper-second-conductive lines is patterned using only a single masking step. Other method embodiments and arrays of memory cells independent of method of manufacture are disclosed.

    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: 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.
