Abstract
Technology for lowering the threshold voltage of a threshold switching selector in a programmable resistance memory cell. The memory system applies a first control signal to circuitry to establish a first resistance of transistors in series with the programmable resistance memory cell, a word line and a bit line when controlling the circuitry to apply a voltage across the programmable resistance memory cell to lower a threshold voltage of a threshold switching selector in the programmable resistance memory cell. The memory system applies a second control signal to the circuitry to establish a second resistance of the circuitry in series with the programmable resistance memory cell, the word line and the bit line to read the selected programmable resistance memory. The second resistance is lower than the first resistance.
