Abstract

An operation method for a memory device is provided. The memory device includes a two-terminal selector and a resistance variable storage element coupled to the two-terminal selector. The method includes providing a voltage pulse to the memory device. A voltage applied across the two-terminal selector during a falling part of the voltage pulse falls below a holding voltage of the two-terminal selector. A voltage falling rate of the falling part at which the voltage applied across the two-terminal selector reaches the holding voltage is raised for reducing threshold voltage drift of the two-terminal selector.
