Abstract:
A non-volatile memory device is provided that uses one or more volatile elements. In some embodiments, the non-volatile memory device can include a resistive two-terminal selector that can be in a low resistive state or a high resistive state depending on the voltage being applied. A MOS (“metal-oxide-semiconductor”) transistor in addition to a capacitor or transistor acting as a capacitor can also be included. A first terminal of the capacitor can be connected to a voltage source, and the second terminal of the capacitor can be connected to the selector device. A floating gate of an NMOS transistor can be connected to the other side of the selector device, and a second NMOS transistor can be connected in series with the first NMOS transistor.

Claim (Index 17):
A method for operating a device including a memory circuit comprising a transistor and a resistance switching selector device having a high resistance state and low resistance state and comprising no more than two electrodes including a first electrode and a second electrode, wherein the first electrode of the selector device is coupled to a gate of the transistor, the method comprising:\n applying a first variable voltage to the memory circuit to thereby induce a second variable voltage at the second electrode of the selector device and to induce a third variable voltage on the gate of the transistor, wherein after a first variable voltage difference between the second variable voltage and the third variable voltage reaches a threshold voltage associated with the selector device, causing the resistance switching selector device to enter the low resistance state such that at least a first charge is induced upon the gate of the transistor in response to the third variable voltage, and wherein after the first variable voltage difference between the second variable voltage and the third variable voltage falls below the threshold voltage associated with the selector device, causing the resistance switching selector device to enter the high resistance state such that substantially the first charge remains trapped upon the gate of the transistor; and thereafter applying a read voltage to a source of the transistor; and determining a first current flow between the source of the transistor and a drain of the transistor, wherein the first current flow is in response to the read voltage and to the first charge trapped upon the gate of the transistor.
