Dynamic random access memory including threshold switch

Last updated:

Abstract:

Described herein are apparatuses, systems, and methods associated with a memory circuit that includes memory cells having respective threshold switches. The memory cells may include a selector transistor with a gate terminal coupled to a word line to receive a word line signal, a drain terminal coupled to a bit line to receive a bit line signal, and a source terminal coupled to a first terminal of the threshold switch. The threshold switch may switch from a high resistance state to a low resistance state when a voltage across the first terminal and a second terminal exceeds a threshold voltage and may remain in the low resistance state after switching when the voltage across the first and second terminals is equal to or greater than a holding voltage that is less than the threshold voltage. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
