Abstract
A resistive sense memory apparatus includes a bipolar select device having a semiconductor substrate and a plurality of transistors disposed in the semiconductor substrate and forming a row or transistors. Each transistor includes an emitter contact and a collector contact. Each collector contact is electrically isolated from each other and each emitter contact is electrically isolated from each other. A gate contact extends along a channel region between the emitter contact and a collector contact. A base contact is disposed within the semiconductor substrate such that the emitter contact and a collector contact is between the gate contact and the base contact. A resistive sense memory cells is electrically coupled to each collector contact or emitter contact and a bit line.
