A non-volatile memory cell with a programmable unipolar switching element, and a method of programming the memory element are disclosed. In some embodiments, the memory cell comprises a programmable bipolar resistive sense memory element connected in series with a programmable unipolar resistive sense switching element. The memory element is programmed to a selected resistance state by application of a selected write current in a selected direction through the cell, wherein a first resistance level is programmed by passage of a write current in a first direction and wherein a second resistance level is programmed by passage of a write current in an opposing second direction. The switching element is programmed to a selected resistance level to facilitate access to the selected resistance state of the memory element.

A non-volatile memory cell and method of use thereof. In some embodiments, an individually programmable resistive sense memory (RSM) element is connected in series with a programmable metallization cell (PMC) switching element. In operation, while the switching element is programmed to a first resistive state, no current passes through the RSM element and while a second resistive state is programmed to the RSM element, current passes through the RSM element.

A memory cell comprising a phase-change memory cell stacked in series with a resistive switch. The resistive switch has a material switchable between a high resistance state and a low resistance state by the application of a voltage. A plurality of memory cells are used to form a memory array.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for reading data from a non-volatile memory cell. In some embodiments, a cross-point array of non-volatile memory cells is arranged into rows and columns that are each controlled by a line driver. A read circuit is provided that is capable of reading a logical state of a predetermined memory cell by differentiating a non-integrated first reference value from a non-integrated second reference value. Further, each reference value is measured immediately after configuring the column corresponding to the predetermined memory cell to produce a first and second amount of current.
