ABSTRACT:
Device and method for memory cell isolation. The memory cell includes a resistive component, such as a magnetic random access memory (MRAM) cell, and an isolation component, such as a four-layer diode. The memory cell may be included in a memory array. The method includes rapidly applying a forward bias across the isolation element to activate the isolation element.
