    摘要: A memory device is proposed. The memory device includes a plurality of memory cells, wherein each memory cell includes a storage element and a selector for selecting the corresponding storage element during a reading operation or a programming operation. The selector includes a unipolar element and a bipolar element. The memory device further includes control means for prevalently enabling the unipolar element during the reading operation or the bipolar element during the programming operation.

    摘要: The phase-change nonvolatile memory array is formed by a plurality of memory cells extending in a first and in a second direction orthogonal to each other. A plurality of column-selection lines extend parallel to the first direction. A plurality of word-selection lines extend parallel to the second direction. Each memory cell includes a PCM storage element and a selection transistor. A first terminal of the selection transistor is connected to a first terminal of the PCM storage element, and the control terminal of the selection transistor is connected to a respective word-selection line. A second terminal of the PCM storage element is connected to a respective column-selection line, and a second terminal of the selection transistor is connected to a reference-potential region while reading and programming the memory cells.
