    摘要: A memory array includes a cross-point array of bit and source lines. A memory is disposed at cross-points of the cross-point array. The memory unit includes a magnetic tunnel junction data cell electrically coupled to a bit line and a source line. The magnetic tunnel junction data cell is configured to switch between a high resistance state and a low resistance state by passing a polarized write current through the magnetic tunnel junction data cell. A transistor is electrically between the magnetic tunnel junction data cell and the bit line or source line and a diode is in thermal or electrical contact with the magnetic tunnel junction data cell to assist in resistance state switching.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for using thermal preconditioning to write data to a non-volatile memory cell. In accordance with some embodiments, a semiconductor memory has an array of non-volatile memory cells, and a control circuit which stores a first write command from a host to write data to said array. A write circuit flows a write current through an unconditioned first selected cell having a first block address associated with the first write command to write the first selected cell to a selected data state, and concurrently passes a thermal preconditioning current through a second selected cell having a second block address associated with the first block address. The write circuit further passes a thermal preconditioning current through a third selected cell having a third block address associated with the second block address in response to receipt by the control circuit of a second write command from the host associated with the second block address.
