Abstract: A memory device includes RRAM memory cells configured to form a zero-transistor and one-resistor (0T1R) array structure in which access transistors of the RRAM memory cells are bypassed or removed. Alternatively, the access transistors of the RRAM memory cells may be arranged in a parallel structure to reduce associated IR drop and thus enable reduced write voltage operation.
