    摘要: A phase-change material is proposed for coupling interconnect lines an electrically programmable matrix array. Leakage may be reduced by optionally placing a thin insulating breakdown layer between the phase change material and at least one of the lines. The matrix array may be used in a programmable logic device. The logic portions of the programmable logic device may be tri-stated.

    摘要: A thin-film memory may include a thin-film transistor-free address decoder in conjunction with thin-film memory elements to yield an all-thin-film memory. Such a thin-film memory excludes all single-crystal electronic devices and may be formed, for example, on a low-cost substrate, such as fiberglass, glass or ceramic. The memory may be configured for operation with an external memory controller.

    摘要: A phase change memory cells including a memory element or a threshold device is read using a read current which does not threshold either the memory element or the threshold device in the case of both a set and a reset memory element. As a result, higher currents may be avoided, increasing read endurance. A sensing circuit includes a charging rate detector coupled to a selected address line and sensing a rate of change of a voltage on the selected address line.

    摘要: A phase change memory may be read so as to reduce the likelihood of a read disturb. A read disturb may occur, for example, when a reset device is raised to a voltage, which causes its threshold device to trigger. The triggering of the threshold device produces a displacement current which may convert a reset device to a set device. By ensuring that the reset cell never reaches a voltage that would result in triggering of the threshold device, read disturbs may be reduced.
