    摘要: A memory system, including a first electrode, a memory storage element, and a control element. The control element having a breakdown voltage. The breakdown voltage is increased by partially-processing the control element. In one aspect, the partial-processing results by processing the control element for a briefer duration than the memory storage element. In another aspect, the partial-processing results by forming the control element from a plurality of layers, some of the plurality of layers are unprocessed while other ones of the plurality of layers are fully processed.

    摘要: A read-only memory device is described having non-volatile memory cells that include a memory component connected between electrically conductive traces. A memory component is formed to include a resistor that indicates a resistance value when a potential is applied to a selected memory cell. The resistance value of a memory component in an individual memory cell corresponds to multiple logical bits. The resistance value of a memory component corresponding to a set of logical bits can be based on a thickness and/or an area of electrically resistive material that forms the memory component, and/or based on the geometric shape of the memory component, where different geometric shapes of the electrically resistive material have different resistance values that correspond to different sets of logical bits.

    摘要: A sense amplifier is provided for reading data in a multiple-state memory cell of a resistive memory array in response to a read voltage applied across the sensed memory cell, including a differential amplifier having first and second input nodes. A sense circuit determines the current in the memory cell with the read voltage applied thereto and applies a sense current representative of the memory cell current to the first input node of the differential amplifier. A reference circuit has first and second resistive elements for applying a reference current to the second input node of the differential amplifier to provide a reference value against which to compare the sense current to determine the state of the memory cell. The first resistive element has a resistance representative of a first state of the memory cell, and the second resistive element has a resistance representative of a second state of the memory cell. A voltage source for applying the read voltage across the first and second resistive elements to generate a reference current by averaging the currents through the first and second resistive elements. A first translator transistor applies the sense current to the first node of the differential amplifier. A second translator transistor applies the reference current to the second node of the differential amplifier. A comparator circuit is used to compare the signals at the first and second input nodes of the differential amplifier to provide an output indicative of the state of the sensed memory cell.

    摘要: Among various embodiments of the present disclosure, displaying electrophoretic particles can be performed by configuring an electrophoretic display for directed spreading of electrophoretic particles across a number of substantially planar display electrodes. Such a configuration can be accomplished by controlling planar spreading of the electrophoretic particles in an electrophoretic pixel with an electrical field between an in-plane storage electrode and an in-plane activation electrode. The in-plane activation electrode can be connected to an in-plane display electrode, which extends across a first area in the electrophoretic pixel adjacent to a display aperture having a second area that is substantially coextensive with the first area.
