Abstract

A memory cell includes a first diode, a second diode, and a random access memory cell element. The first diode and the random access memory cell element are series connected between a bit line and a word line. The second diode and the random access memory cell element are series connected between the word line and a reset line. A set path is formed through the first diode and the random access memory cell element, and a reset path is formed through the random access memory cell element and the second diode. The first diode is configured to performed a read operation and a set operation. The second diode is configured to perform a reset operation. The memory cell has higher forward current, lower leakage current and smaller size comparing with conventional memory cells.
