Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a method for programming a memory cell that includes a two-terminal selector and a memory element coupled in series between a first conductive line and a second conductive line. The method includes the steps of applying a voltage across the memory cell with the voltage being sufficiently high to enable switching of the memory element from initial resistance state to target resistance state; determining the initial resistance state of the memory element; comparing the initial resistance state with the target resistance state; and if the initial resistance state and the target resistance state are same, concluding that the memory element is already in the target resistance state and terminating programming process; otherwise, continually monitoring the voltage until a change in the voltage is detected and then concluding that the memory element has switched to the target resistance state and terminating the programming process.

Claim (Index 3):
A method for programming a memory cell that includes a two-terminal selector and a memory element coupled in series between a first conductive line and a second conductive line, the method including the steps of:\n applying a voltage across the memory cell, the voltage being sufficiently high to enable switching of the memory element from an initial resistance state to a target resistance state; determining the initial resistance state of the memory element; comparing the initial resistance state with the target resistance state; if the initial resistance state and the target resistance state are same, concluding that the memory element is already in the target resistance state and terminating programming process; and if the initial resistance state and the target resistance state are different, continually monitoring the voltage until a change in the voltage is detected and then concluding that the memory element has switched to the target resistance state and terminating the programming process, wherein the step of determining the initial resistance state of the memory element is carried out by a first sense amplifier and the step of continually monitoring the voltage is carried out by a second sense amplifier.
