Abstract
Providing for improved sensing of non-volatile resistive memory to achieve higher sensing margins, is described herein. The sensing can leverage current-voltage characteristics of a volatile selector device within the resistive memory. A disclosed sensing process can comprise activating the selector device with an activation voltage, and then lowering the activation voltage to a holding voltage at which the selector device deactivates for an off-state memory cell, but remains active for an on-state memory cell. Accordingly, very high on-off ratio characteristics of the selector device can be employed for sensing the resistive memory, providing sensing margins not previously achievable for non-volatile memory.
