摘要: Techniques and mechanisms for storing data with a memory cell which comprises a ferroelectric (FE) resistive junction. In an embodiment, a memory cell comprises a transistor and a FE resistive junction structure which is coupled to the transistor. The FE resistive junction structure comprises electrode structures, and a layer of a material which is between said electrode structures, wherein the material is a FE oxide or a FE semiconductor. The FE resistive junction structure selectively provides any of various levels of resistance, each to represent a respective one or more bits. A current flow through the FE resistive junction structure is characterized by thermionic emission through a Schottky barrier at an interface with one of the electrode structures. In another embodiment, the FE resistive junction structure further comprises one or more dielectric layers each between the layer of material and a different respective one of the electrode structures.

摘要: A method of forming circuitry components includes forming a stack of horizontally extending and vertically overlapping features. The features extend horizontally though a primary portion of the stack with at least some of the features extending farther in the horizontal direction in an end portion. Operative structures are formed vertically through the features in the primary portion and dummy structures are formed vertically through the features in the end portion. Openings are formed through the features to form horizontally elongated and vertically overlapping lines from material of the features. The lines individually extend laterally about sides of vertically extending portions of both the operative structures and the dummy structures. Sacrificial material that is elevationally between the lines is at least partially removed in the primary and end portions laterally between the openings. Other aspects and implementations are disclosed.

摘要: A non-volatile memory (NVM) crossbar for an artificial neural network (ANN) accelerator is provided. The NVM crossbar includes row signal lines configured to receive input analog voltage signals, multiply-and-accumulate (MAC) column signal lines, a correction column signal line, a MAC cell disposed at each row signal line and MAC column signal line intersection, and a correction cell disposed at each row signal line and correction column signal line intersection. Each MAC cell includes one or more programmable NVM elements programmed to an ANN unipolar weight, and each correction cell includes one or more programmable NVM elements. Each MAC column signal line generates a MAC signal based on the input analog voltage signals and the respective MAC cells, and the correction column signal line generates a correction signal based on the input analog voltage signals and the correction cells. Each MAC signal is corrected based on the correction signal.

摘要: The gate of the access transistor of a 1 transistor 1 resistor (1T1R) type RRAM cell is biased relative to the source of the access transistor using a current mirror. Under the influence of a voltage applied across the 1T1R cell (e.g., via the bit line), the RRAM memory element switches from a higher resistance to a lower resistance. As the RRAM memory element switches from the higher resistance to the lower resistance, the current through the RRAM cell switches from being substantially determined by the higher resistance of the RRAM device (while the access transistor is operating in the linear region) to being substantially determined by the saturation region operating point of the access transistor.

摘要: Techniques are provided for programming a self-selecting memory cell that stores a first logic state. To program the memory cell, a pulse having a first polarity may be applied to the cell, which may result in the memory cell having a reduced threshold voltage. During a duration in which the threshold voltage of the memory cell may be reduced (e.g., during a selection time), a second pulse having a second polarity (e.g., a different polarity) may be applied to the memory cell. Applying the second pulse to the memory cell may result in the memory cell storing a second logic state different than the first logic state.
