Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for memory array operation are described. A series of pulses may be applied to a fatigued memory cell to improve performance of memory cell. For example, a ferroelectric memory cell may enter a fatigue state after a number of access operations are performed at an access rate. After the number of access operations have been performed at the access rate, a fatigue state of the ferroelectric memory cell may be identified and the series of pulses may be applied to the ferroelectric capacitor at a different (e.g., higher) rate. For instance, a delay between pulses of the series of pulses may be shorter than the delay between access operations of the ferroelectric memory cell.

Claim (Index 1):
A method, comprising:\n applying a plurality of access pulses to a memory cell in an operation state; calculating a change of a remnant polarization of the memory cell using the access pulses of the plurality, wherein the remnant polarization corresponds to an amount of charge capable of being retained by the memory cell; and determining a fatigue state of the memory cell based at least in part on calculating the change of the remnant polarization of the memory cell.
