Zusammenfassung:Methods of forming polarity dependent switches for resistive sense memory are described. Methods for forming a memory unit include implanting dopant material more heavily in a source contact than a bit contact of a semiconductor transistor, and electrically connecting a resistive sense memory cell to the bit contact. The resistive sense memory cell is configured to switch between a high resistance state and a low resistance state upon passing a current through the resistive sense memory cell.
