PROGRAMMABLE CHALCOGENIDE CAPACITORS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17884450 titled 'PROGRAMMABLE CHALCOGENIDE CAPACITORS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for programmable chalcogenide capacitors.
- A first programming pulse is applied to a capacitor with a chalcogenide material to adjust its capacitance from a first value to a second value.
- A pulse is then applied to the capacitor based on the first programming pulse.
- A first voltage is stored in the capacitor after adjusting its capacitance, and this voltage is stored based on the capacitor having the second capacitance.

Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for programmable chalcogenide capacitors are described. A first programming pulse may be applied, for a first duration, to a capacitor comprising a chalcogenide material to adjust a capacitance of the capacitor from a first capacitance to a second capacitance. A pulse may be applied to the capacitor based on applying the first programming pulse to the capacitor. A first voltage may be stored in the capacitor based on adjusting the capacitance of the capacitor from the first capacitance to the second capacitance, and the first voltage may be stored based on the capacitor having the second capacitance.
