Abstract

A variable-resistance material memory array includes a series of variable-resistance material memory cells. The series of variable-resistance material memory cells can be arranged in parallel with a corresponding series of control gates. A select gate can also be disposed in series with the variable-resistance material memory cells. Writing/reading/erasing to a given variable-resistance material memory cell can include turning off the corresponding control gate, while turning on all other control gates. Various devices can include such a variable-resistance material memory array.
