Claim 22:
23. An apparatus, comprising:
a plurality of first layers each comprising a respective memory material element coupled with a respective first electrode;
a pillar extending through the plurality of first layers and coupled with each of the respective memory material elements;
a first selector device coupled with a first portion of the pillar;
a second selector device coupled with a second portion of the pillar opposite the first selector device;
a second electrode coupled with the first selector device;
a third electrode coupled with the second selector device; and
a controller operable to cause the apparatus to:
apply a first selection voltage to the second electrode;
apply a second selection voltage to the third electrode, wherein the pillar is operable to be biased at a second voltage via the second electrode and the first selector device based at least in part on applying the first selection voltage to the second electrode and the second selection voltage to the third electrode; and
apply a first voltage to a first electrode of the respective first electrodes based at least in part on applying the first selection voltage to the second electrode and the second selection voltage to the third electrode, the first electrode coupled with a memory material element of the respective memory material elements, wherein the memory material element is operable to be accessed based at least in part on applying the first voltage to the first electrode and biasing the pillar to the second voltage.
