Abstract

See full text

Techniques are provided for managing voltages on memory cells in a cross-point array during a read operation. The techniques apply to vertical layer thyristor memory cells and non-thyristor memory cells. Voltages on selected bitlines (e.g., corresponding to memory cells from which data is to be read), are set to a read voltage level. Voltages on unselected bitlines (e.g., corresponding to memory cells from which data is not to be read and which are not to be disturbed) are set to a de-bias voltage level that is different from the read voltage level.
