Abstract
The invention relates to a system, a memory component and a process for operating a memory cell, which includes an active material, which can be changed into a more or less conductive state by means of an appropriate switching process, whereby the process including (a) bringing the memory cell into the more or less conductive state and evaluating the state of the memory cell after it has been changed into the more or less conductive state.
Claims14
A process for operating a memory cell, including an active material, which is configured to be converted into a substantially conductive state by a switching process, comprising:
- (a) bringing the memory cell into the substantially conductive state;
- and
- (b) evaluating a state of the memory cell after being brought into the substantially conductive state.
A resistive switching memory component with at least one memory cell and a control device for performing a process, the process comprising:
- (a) bringing the memory cell into the substantially conductive state;
- and
- (b) evaluating a state of the memory cell after being brought into the substantially conductive state.
A system, comprising:
- a memory component, with at least one memory cell;
- and
- a control device arranged externally to the memory component, the system performing a process comprising:
- (a) bringing the memory cell into the substantially conductive state;
- and
- (b) evaluating a state of the memory cell after being brought into the substantially conductive state.
