BIPOLAR SELECTOR WITH INDEPENDENTLY TUNABLE THRESHOLD VOLTAGES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18356585 titled 'BIPOLAR SELECTOR WITH INDEPENDENTLY TUNABLE THRESHOLD VOLTAGES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application is about a bipolar selector with independently tunable threshold voltages and a memory cell and memory array comprising the selector.
- The bipolar selector consists of two unipolar selectors, which are diodes or similar devices.
- The first and second unipolar selectors are connected in parallel with opposite orientations.
- This arrangement allows the first unipolar selector to define one threshold voltage and the second unipolar selector to define another threshold voltage independently.
- The threshold voltages can be adjusted by modifying the parameters of the unipolar selectors.
- This innovation provides flexibility in tuning the threshold voltages of the bipolar selector, enhancing its performance in memory cells and arrays.
Original Abstract Submitted
Various embodiments of the present application are directed towards a bipolar selector having independently tunable threshold voltages, as well as a memory cell comprising the bipolar selector and a memory array comprising the memory cell. In some embodiments, the bipolar selector comprises a first unipolar selector and a second unipolar selector. The first and second unipolar selectors are electrically coupled in parallel with opposite orientations and may, for example, be diodes or some other suitable unipolar selectors. By placing the first and second unipolar selectors in parallel with opposite orientations, the first unipolar selector independently defines a first threshold voltage of the bipolar selector and the second unipolar selector independently defines a second threshold voltage of the bipolar selector. As a result, the first and second threshold voltages can be independently tuned by adjusting parameters of the first and second unipolar selectors.
