==SELF-SELECTING MEMORY DEVICE HAVING POLARITY DEPENDENT THRESHOLD VOLTAGE SHIFT CHARACTERISTICS AND MEMORY APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240324246 titled 'SELF-SELECTING MEMORY DEVICE HAVING POLARITY DEPENDENT THRESHOLD VOLTAGE SHIFT CHARACTERISTICS AND MEMORY APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME

The abstract describes a patent application for a self-selecting memory device with polarity-dependent threshold voltage shift characteristics and a memory apparatus incorporating this device. The memory device consists of a first electrode, a second electrode facing the first electrode, and a memory layer with ovonic threshold switching characteristics between them. The threshold voltage of the memory layer changes based on the density of active traps within the layer, with the change dependent on the polarity and intensity of the bias voltage applied. The element composition distribution within the memory layer remains constant as the threshold voltage changes.
