Methods, systems, and devices for managing memory based on access duration are described. A memory device may include a first set of memory cells resilient against access durations of a first duration and a second set of memory cells resilient against access durations of a shorter duration. A command for accessing the memory device may be received. The command may be associated with an access duration. Whether to access, as part of executing the command, the first set of memory cells or the second set of memory cells may be determined based on the access duration. The first set of memory cells may be accessed, as part of executing the command, based on the access duration being greater than a threshold duration. Or the second set of memory cells may be accessed based on the access duration being less than or equal to the threshold duration.

Various aspects relate to a method of manufacturing a memory cell, the method including: forming a memory cell, wherein the memory cell comprises a spontaneously-polarizable memory element, wherein the spontaneously-polarizable memory element is in an as formed condition; and carrying out a preconditioning operation of the spontaneously-polarizable memory element to bring the spontaneously-polarizable memory element from the as formed condition into an operable condition to allow for a writing of the memory cell after the preconditioning operation is carried out.

To compensate switching of a dielectric component of a non-linear polar material based capacitor, an explicit dielectric capacitor is added to a memory bit-cell and controlled by a signal opposite to the signal driven on a plate-line.

Methods, systems, and devices for apparatus for differential memory cells are described. An apparatus may include a pair of memory cells comprising a first memory cell and a second memory cell, a word line coupled with the pair of memory cells and a plate line coupled with the pair of memory cells. The apparatus may further include a first digit line coupled with the first memory cell and a sense amplifier and a second digit line coupled with the second memory cell and the sense amplifier. The apparatus may include a select line configured to couple the first digit line and the second digit line with the sense amplifier.

The present disclosure includes apparatuses, methods, and systems for charge separation for memory sensing. An embodiment includes applying a sensing voltage to a memory cell, and determining a data state of the memory cell based, at least in part, on a comparison of an amount of charge discharged by the memory cell while the sensing voltage is being applied to the memory cell before a particular reference time and an amount of charge discharged by the memory cell while the sensing voltage is being applied to the memory cell after the particular reference time.

Methods, systems, and devices for delay adjustment circuits are described. Amplifiers (e.g., differential amplifiers) may act like variable capacitors (e.g., due to the Miller-effect) to control delays of signals between buffer (e.g., re-driver) stages. The gains of the amplifiers may be adjusted by adjusting the currents through the amplifiers, which may change the apparent capacitances seen by the signal line (due to the Miller-effect). The capacitance of each amplifier may be the intrinsic capacitance of input transistors that make up the amplifier, or may be a discrete capacitor. In some examples, two differential stages may be inserted on a four-phase clocking system (e.g., one on 0 and 180 phases, the other on 90 and 270 phases), and may be controlled differentially to control phase-to-phase delay.

Methods, systems, and devices for cell data bulk reset are described. In some examples, a logic state (e.g., a first logic state) may be written to one or more memory cells based on an associated memory device transitioning power states. To write the first logic state to the memory cells, a first subset of digit lines may be driven to a first voltage and a plate may be driven to a second voltage. While the digit lines and plate are driven to the respective voltages, one or more word lines may be driven to the second voltage. In some instances, the word lines may be driven to the second voltage based on charge sharing occurring between adjacent word lines.

Systems and methods for confirming the presence of a person or asset for a given purpose, and recording this information in a distributed ledger. The distributed ledger records and confirms presence indicia in connection with a transaction said facilitates remote and/or automated signatures. The systems and methods detect the presence of one or more humans and/or computing devices at a specific location at the time of a transaction, and contemporaneously recording information concerning the transaction in a distributed ledger. Presence can be determined using network presence sensing (NPS), other types of sensors, or the combination of NPS with other sensors.

A pbit device, in one embodiment, includes a first field-effect transistor (FET) that includes a source region, a drain region, a source electrode on the source region, a drain electrode on the drain region, a channel region between the source and drain regions, a dielectric layer on a surface over the channel region, an electrode layer above the dielectric layer, and a ferroelectric (FE) material layer between the dielectric layer and the electrode layer. The pbit device also includes a second FET comprising a source electrode, a drain electrode, and a gate electrode. The drain electrode of the second FET is connected to the drain electrode of the first FET.

Methods and devices for reading a memory cell using a sense amplifier with split capacitors is described. The sense amplifier may include a first capacitor and a second capacitor that may be configured to provide a larger capacitance during certain portions of a read operation and a lower capacitance during other portions of the read operation. In some cases, the first capacitor and the second capacitor are configured to be coupled in parallel between a signal node and a voltage source during a first portion of the read operation to provide a higher capacitance. The first capacitor may be decoupled from the second capacitor during a second portion of the read operation to provide a lower capacitance during the second portion.
