Abstract:
1. A non-volatile storage apparatus, comprising: an X line; a first Y line; a second Y line; a semiconductor region of a first type running along the X line; first switching material and a first semiconductor region of a second type between the first Y line and the semiconductor region of the first type, the first semiconductor region of the second type is adjacent to the semiconductor region of the first type; second switching material and a second semiconductor region of the second type between the second Y line and the semiconductor region of the first type, the second semiconductor region of the second type is adjacent to the semiconductor region of the first type; and control circuitry in communication with the X line and the first Y line and the second Y line, the control circuitry changes the programming state of the first switching material to a first state by causing a first current to flow from the second Y line to the first Y line through the first switching material and the second switching material.
