    Abstract: In one example, a volatile selector is switched from a low conduction state to a first high conduction state with a first voltage level and then the first voltage level is removed to activate a relaxation time for the volatile selector. The relaxation time is defined as the time the first volatile selector transitions from the high conduction state back to the low conduction state. The volatile selector is switched with a second voltage level of opposite polarity to the first voltage level to significantly reduce the relaxation time of the volatile selector.

    Abstract: A circuit component that exhibits a region of negative differential resistance includes: a first layer of material; and a second layer of material in contact with the first layer of material, the contact forming a first self-heating interface. The first self-heating interface is structured such that an electrical current flowing from the first layer of material to the second layer of material encounters an electrical impedance occurring at the first interface that is greater than any electrical impedance occurring in the first and second layers of material, wherein heating occurring at the first interface is dominated by Joule heating caused by the electrical impedance occurring at the first interface, and wherein the electrical impedance occurring at the first interface decreases with increasing temperature to induce a region of negative differential resistance.

    Abstract: Example implementations disclosed herein can be used to decode memory elements in a crosspoint array. In one example implementation, a drain voltage is applied to a drain terminal of a field effect transistor switch for a selected row in the crosspoint array associated with the selected memory element. A bulk terminal of the field effect transistor switch for the selected row can be biased with a well voltage that is independent of the drain, source, or substrate voltages. In such examples, the gate terminal of the field effect transistor switch for the selected row can be driven with a gate voltage comprising the drain voltage and the well voltage. The drain voltage, the well voltage, and the gate voltage are selected to cause the field effect transistor switch for the selected row to operate as an ohmic switch.
