摘要： A three-dimensional array of memory elements is formed across multiple layers of planes positioned at different distances above a semiconductor substrate. The memory elements are each accessible by a word line (WL) in a plane and a local bit line. The three-dimensional array includes a two-dimensional array of pillar lines (331, 332) through the multiple layers of planes. The pillar lines are of a first type (331) that act as local bit lines and a second type (332) that provide access to the word lines by having respective memory elements (348) preset to a permanently low resistance state for connecting second-type pillar lines for exclusive access to respective word lines. An array of metal lines on the substrate is switchably connected to the vertical bit lines to provide access to the local bit lines and the word lines.

摘要： The selected bit line in a non-volatile memory carries a cell conduction current to be measured and also a leakage current or noise due to weak coupling with neighboring array structures. In in a first phase, a sense amplifier senses the bit line current by discharging a capacitor with the combined current (cell conduction current plus the leakage current) over a predetermined time. In a second phase, the cell conduction current is minimized and significantly the leakage current in the selected bit line is used to recharge in tandem the capacitor in a time same as the predetermined time, effectively substracting the component of the leakage current measured in the first sensing phase. The resultant voltage drop on the capacitor over the two sensing phases provides a measure of the cell conduction current alone, thereby avoiding reading errors due to the leakage current present in the selected bit line.
摘要翻译：非易失性存储器中所选择的位线携带要测量的单元传导电流，以及由于与相邻阵列结构的弱耦合而引起的漏电流或噪声。在第一阶段中，感测放大器通过在预定时间内以组合电流（单元传导电流加上漏电流）放电电容器来感测位线电流。在第二阶段，电池导通电流被最小化，并且显着地，使用所选位线中的漏电流在与预定时间相同的时间内串联电容器，从而有效地减去在第一个中测量的漏电流的分量检测阶段。两个感测相位上的电容器上产生的电压降提供了单独的电池导通电流的量度，从而避免了由于存在于所选位线中的泄漏电流而导致的读取误差。

摘要： Provided are resistive random access memory (ReRAM) cells and methods of fabricating thereof. A stack including a defect source layer, a defect blocking layer, and a defect acceptor layer disposed between the defect source layer and the defect blocking layer may be subjected to annealing. During the annealing, defects are transferred in a controllable manner from the defect source layer to the defect acceptor layer. At the same time, the defects are not transferred into the defect blocking layer thereby creating a lowest concentration zone within the defect acceptor layer. This zone is responsible for resistive switching. The precise control over the size of the zone and the defect concentration within the zone allows substantially improvement of resistive switching characteristics of the ReRAM cell. In some embodiments, the defect source layer includes aluminum oxynitride, the defect blocking layer includes titanium nitride, and the defect acceptor layer includes aluminum oxide.

摘要： Provided are resistive random access memory (ReRAM) cells and methods of fabricating thereof. A ReRAM cell includes an embedded resistor and resistive switching layer connected in series. The embedded resistor prevents excessive electrical currents through the resistive switching layer, especially when the resistive switching layer is switched into its low resistive state, thereby preventing over-programming. The embedded resistor includes aluminum, nitrogen, and one or more additional metals (other than aluminum). The concentration of each component is controlled to achieve desired resistivity and stability of the embedded resistor. In some embodiments, the resistivity ranges from 0.1 Ohm-centimeter to 40 Ohm- centimeter and remains substantially constant while applying an electrical field of up 8 mega-Volts /centimeter to the embedded resistor. The embedded resistor may be made from an amorphous material, and the material is operable to remain amorphous even when subjected to typical annealing conditions.

摘要： An asynchronous FIFO buffer that provides data in response to requests to read a memory array is disclosed. The asynchronous FIFO buffer provides the data output within a latency tolerance. The asynchronous FIFO has a read clock input and a write clock input. The read clock input receives a read enable signal that defines how data should be clocked out. The write clock input receives a write clock that is asynchronous from the read enable signal. The asynchronous FIFO inputs data from the memory array in accordance with the write clock signal. The asynchronous FIFO outputs data in accordance with the read enable signal. Control logic may pre-fetch data from the memory array into the asynchronous FIFO prior to the read enable signal first being received.

摘要： A 3D memory array having a vertically oriented thin film transistor (TFT) selection device that has a channel extension, otherwise referred to as a gate/junction offset, is disclosed. The vertically oriented TFT selection device with channel extension serves as a vertical bit line selection device in the 3D memory array. A vertical TFT select device having a channel extension has a high breakdown voltage and low leakage current. The channel extension can be at the top junction or bottom junction of the TFT. Depending on whether the memory elements undergo a forward FORM or reverse FORM, either the bottom or top junction can have the channel extension. This provides for a high voltage junction where needed.
