Abstract: A memory device is disclosed. The memory device includes a memory cell comprising: a transistor; and a plurality of pairs of resistors coupled to the transistor in series, each of the pairs of resistors including a first resistor and a second resistor. The transistor is formed along a major surface of a substrate. At least a first one of the pairs of resistors are formed in a first one of a plurality of metallization layers disposed above the transistor. At least a second one of the pairs of resistors are formed in a second one of the plurality of metallization layers, the second metallization layer being disposed above the first metallization layer.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are related to a memory cell including one or more programmable resistors and a control transistor. In one aspect, a programmable resistor includes a gate structure and one or more source/drain structures for forming a transistor. A resistance of the programmable resistor may be set by applying a voltage to the gate structure, while the control transistor is enabled. Data stored by the programmable resistor can be read by sensing current through the programmable resistor, while the control transistor is disabled. In one aspect, the one or more programmable resistors and the control transistor are implemented by same type of components, allowing the memory cell to be formed in a compact manner through a simplified the fabrication process.
