DECODING SCHEME FOR BIPOLAR-BASED DIODE THREE-DIMENSIONAL MEMORY REQUIRING UNIPOLAR PROGRAMMING

摘要

A system and method for operating a unipolar memory cell array including a bidirectional access diode. An example embodiment is a method including determining if the operating state of the unipolar memory cell is in a select state or a deselect state and the programming state is a read state or a write state. The method switches a column voltage switch based on the operating state and the programming state of the unipolar memory cell. The method further switches a row voltage switch based on the operating state and the programming state of the unipolar memory cell.
