    摘要: Programmable metallization memory cells that have an inert electrode and an active electrode positioned in a non-overlapping manner in relation to a substrate. A fast ion conductor material is in electrical contact with and extends from the inert electrode to the active electrode, the fast ion conductor including superionic clusters extending from the inert electrode to the active electrode. A metal layer extends from the inert electrode to the active electrode, yet is electrically insulated from each of the inert electrode and the active electrode by the fast ion conductor material. Methods for forming programmable metallization cells are also disclosed.

    摘要: Apparatus and method for providing overcurrent protection to a resistive random access memory (RRAM) cell during an RRAM formation process used to prepare the cell for normal read and write operations. In accordance with various embodiments, the RRAM cell is connected between a first control line and a second control line, and an active protection device (APD) is connected between the second control line and an electrical ground terminal. A formation current is applied through the RRAM cell, and an activation voltage is concurrently applied to the APD to maintain a maximum magnitude of the formation current below a predetermined threshold level

    摘要: Non-volatile multi-bit memory with programmable capacitance is disclosed. Illustrative data memory units include a substrate including a source region and a drain region. A first insulating layer is over the substrate. A first solid electrolyte cell is over the insulating layer and has a capacitance that is controllable between at least two states and is proximate the source region. A second solid electrolyte cell is over the insulating layer and has a capacitance or resistance that is controllable between at least two states and is proximate the drain region. An insulating element isolates the first solid electrolyte cell from the second solid electrolyte cell. A first anode is electrically coupled to the first solid electrolyte cell. The first solid electrolyte cell is between the anode and the insulating layer. A second anode is electrically coupled to the second solid electrolyte cell. The second solid electrolyte cell is between the anode and the insulating layer. A gate contact layer is over the substrate and between the source region and drain region and in electrical connection with the first anode and the second anode. The gate contact layer is electrically coupled to a voltage source.
