摘要: A method is described that induced dielectric breakdown within a capacitor's dielectric material while driving a current through the capacitor. The current is specific to data that is being written into the capacitor. The method also involves reading the data by interpreting behavior of the capacitor that is determined by the capacitor's resistance, where, the capacitor's resistance is a consequence of the inducing and the driving.

摘要: Some embodiments provide a memory cell that includes a body region, a source region and a drain region. The body region is doped with charge carriers of a first type, the source region is disposed in the body region and doped with charge carriers of a second type, and the drain region is disposed in the body region and doped with charge carriers of the second type. The body region and the source region form a first junction, the body region and the drain region form a second junction, and a conductivity of the first junction from the body region to the source region in a case that the first junction is unbiased is substantially less than a conductivity of the second junction from the body region to the drain region in a case that the second junction is unbiased.
