Abstract: A three-dimensional memory architecture including a top cell array of memory cells, a bottom cell array of memory cells, a plurality of word lines coupled to the arrays, and a plurality of word line decoders coupled to the word lines and operable to selectively activate the word lines. The plurality of word line decoders extend from a first edge of the bottom cell array and from a second edge of the bottom cell array, the second edge being opposite the first edge, wherein the plurality of word line decoders include a first portion of word line decoders and a second portion of word line decoders, and wherein the first portion of word line decoders is shifted relative to the second portion of the word line decoders along a direction parallel, or substantially parallel, to the first edge and second edge.

Abstract: A phase change device (PCD) has a first and second semiconductor layer. The first semiconductor layer made of a first semiconductor material and has a first semiconductor thickness, a first interface surface, and a first electrode surface. The first interface surface and first electrode surface are on opposite sides of the first semiconductor layer. The first semiconductor material can transition between a first amorphous state and a first crystalline state at one or more first conditions. The second semiconductor layer is made of a second semiconductor material and has a second semiconductor thickness, a second interface surface, and a second electrode surface. The second interface surface and second electrode surface are on opposite sides of the second semiconductor layer. The first interface surface and the second interface surface are in electrical, physical, and chemical contact with one another at an interface. The second semiconductor material can transition between a second amorphous state and a second crystalline state at one or more second conditions. A first electrode in physical and electrical contact with the first electrode surface of the first semiconductor layer and a second electrode in physical and electrical contact with the second electrode surface of the second semiconductor layer. The first conditions and second conditions are different. Therefore, the first and second semiconductor materials can be in different amorphous and/or crystalline states. The layers can have split amorphous/crystalline states. By controlling how the layers are split, the PCD can be in different resistive states.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method, computer system, and computer program product for increasing linearity of a weight update of a phase change memory (PCM) cell is provided. The present invention may include applying a RESET pulse to amorphize the phase change material of the PCM cell; responsive to applying the RESET pulse, applying an incubation pulse to the PCM cell; and applying a plurality of partial SET pulses to incrementally increase the conductance of the PCM cell.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for reading a multi-level memory cell are described. The memory cell may be configured to store three or more logic states. The memory device may apply a first read voltage to a memory cell to determine a logic state stored by the memory cell. The memory device may determine whether a first snapback event occurred and apply a second read voltage based on determining that the first snapback event failed to occur based on applying the first read voltage. The memory device may determine whether a second snapback event occurred and determine the logic state based on whether the first snapback event or the second snapback event occurred.
