    摘要: Embodiments relate generally to semiconductors and memory technology, and more particularly, to systems, integrated circuits, and methods to implement a memory architecture that includes local bit lines for accessing subsets of memory elements, such as memory elements based on third dimensional memory technology. In at least some embodiments, an integrated circuit includes a cross-point memory array formed above a logic layer. The cross-point memory array includes X-lines and Y-lines, of which at least one Y-line includes groups of Y-line portions. Each of the Y-line portions can be arranged in parallel with other Y-line portions within a group of the Y-line portions. Also included are memory elements disposed between a subset of the X-lines and the group of the Y-line portions. In some embodiments, a decoder is configured to select a Y-line portion from the group of Y-line portions to access a subset of the memory elements.

    摘要: A movable terminal in a two terminal memory array. A storage medium is disposed between two terminals, one of the terminals being movable relative to the second terminal. Either one of the terminals or both terminals might actually move, resulting in one terminal being moved relative to the other terminal. A memory element disposed between the two terminals has a conductance that is responsive to a write voltage across the electrodes.

    摘要: A two-terminal memory array includes a plurality of first and second conductive traces. An address unit operatively applies a select voltage across a selected pair of the first and second conductive traces and applies a non-select voltage potential to unselected traces. A total current flowing in the selected first conductive trace and a leakage current flowing through unselected second conductive traces are sensed by a sense unit in a one cycle or a two cycle pre-read operation. The total and leakage currents can be combined with a reference signal to derive a data signal indicative of one of a plurality of conductivity profiles that represent stored data. The conductivity profiles can be stored in a resistive state memory element that is electrically in series with the selected first and second conductive traces.

    摘要: Memory cell formation using ion implant isolated conductive metal oxide is disclosed, including forming a bottom electrode below unetched conductive metal oxide layer(s), forming the unetched conductive metal oxide layer(s) including depositing at least one layer of a conductive metal oxide (CMO) material (e.g., PrCaMnOx, LaSrCoOx, LaNiOx, etc.) over the bottom electrode. At least one portion of the layer of CMO is configured to act as a memory element without etching, and performing ion implantation on portions of the layer(s) of CMO to create insulating metal oxide (IMO) regions in the layer(s) of CMO. The IMO regions are positioned adjacent to electrically conductive CMO regions in the unetched layer(s) of CMO and the electrically conductive CMO regions are disposed above and in contact with the bottom electrode and form memory elements operative to store non-volatile data as a plurality of conductivity profiles (e.g., resistive states indicative of stored data).
