Mitigation of inoperable low resistance elements in programable crossbar arrays

A programmable crossbar array includes a layer of row conductors and a layer of column conductors with the row conductors crossing over the column conductors to form junctions. Programmable crosspoint devices are sandwiched between a row conductor and a column conductor at a junction. Each programma...

Zusammenfassung:A programmable crossbar array includes a layer of row conductors and a layer of column conductors with the row conductors crossing over the column conductors to form junctions. Programmable crosspoint devices are sandwiched between a row conductor and a column conductor at a junction. Each programmable crosspoint device includes a data element with a first programming threshold and a control element with a second programming threshold, in which the second programming threshold is greater than the first programming threshold. A method for mitigating shorts in a programmable crossbar array is also provided.
