Abstract

Disclosed herein is a memory cell. The memory cell may act both as a combined selector device and memory element. The memory cell may be programmed by applying write pulses having different polarities. Different polarities of the write pulses may program different logic states into the memory cell. The memory cell may be read by read pulses all having the same polarity. The logic state of the memory cell may be detected by observing different threshold voltages when the read pulses are applied. The different threshold voltages may be responsive to the different polarities of the write pulses.
