Patent ID: 8208319

Claim:
A method for indicating a non-FLASH non-volatile memory, comprising: providing a substrate including active circuitry fabricated on a logic plane of the substrate; receiving a memory address at a plurality of multiple-type memories, each multiple-type memory including at least one two-terminal cross-point array, each array including a plurality of memory elements (ME) having exactly two-terminals, each ME including an ion reservoir including mobile oxygen ions and a tunnel barrier layer in direct contact with the ion reservoir, the tunnel barrier layer having a first thickness less than approximately 50 Angstroms, and the tunnel barrier layer and the ion reservoir are directly electrically in series with each other and with the two terminals of the ME; decoding the memory address to a memory select value based on a memory select parameter, the memory select parameter being configured to specify the memory select value, and the memory select value being configured to indicate one of the plurality of multiple-type memories; and outputting the memory select value, wherein the active circuitry is configured to implement the receiving, the decoding, and the outputting, and wherein each array is electrically coupled with at least a portion of the active circuitry.
