Abstract
Three dimensional cross-point array memory devices and selecting cells within a three dimensional cross-point array memory. In a particular embodiment, three different voltages levels are applied to bit lines of the cross point array to allow for selection of a specific cell. Series of select devices may be implemented to provide a high voltage and a low voltage to specific bit lines, while a middle voltage may also be provided. In a particular embodiment, the select devices comprise Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs).
