  • Abstract
    Design techniques are described for building cross-point resistive memory arrays without the use of a selection device for each resistive memory element. A memory cell selection technique is shown to allow the use of low voltage transistors and to solve IR drop, electro-migration and disturb issues on the selected array lines. Physical implementation is also presented.
