Abstract
A circuit operable as a non-volatile memory cell, formed in part from a volatile selection device, is provided. The circuit can be fabricated utilizing Integrated Circuit (IC)-Foundry compatible processes to simplify manufacturing, reduce cost and improve yield. For instance, the circuit can comprise a set of transistors fabricated at least in part with front-end-of-line IC processes, and can comprise the volatile selection device and a set of interconnects fabricated at least in part with back-end-of-line IC processes. In further embodiments, the volatile selection device can be a two-terminal, volatile resistive-switching device connected at one end to a gate of an n-well transistor, and connected at a second end to a gate of a p-well transistor.
