Abstract
A system including a resistive element of a memory cell and a device to access the resistive element of the memory cell. The resistive element includes (i) a first electrode, and (ii) a second electrode. The device includes (i) a first terminal connected to a first contact, and (i) a second terminal connected to a second contact. One or more of the first contact and the second contact of the device is respectively connected to one or more of the first electrode and the second electrode of the resistive element via a third contact. A size of the third contact decreases from the one or more of the first contact and the second contact of the device to the one or more of the first electrode and the second electrode of the resistive element of the memory cell.
