Abstract
Example memory devices and example methods for using memory devices are described. An example memory device may include a first electrical bitline, a second electrical bitline, a bitcell, and an optical waveguide wordline. The bitcell is configured to store a bit value and includes storage circuitry and a pair of light-effect transistor access devices. The storage circuitry includes at least one transistor. The pair of light-effect transistor access devices are arranged for connecting the bitcell to the first electrical bitline and the second electrical bitline. The optical waveguide wordline is arranged for routing an optical signal to the pair of light-effect transistor access devices.
