Abstract:
A method of sensing a resistance change memory device includes preparing a memory cell including a variable resistance element storing different data on the basis of a variable resistance, and a switching element connected to the variable resistance element and performing a threshold switching operation, measuring a first cell current by applying a first read voltage to the memory cell, the first read voltage being selected in a threshold-sensing range of a current-voltage characteristic curve of the memory cell, measuring a second cell current by applying a second read voltage to the memory cell, the second read voltage being selected in a resistance-sensing range of the current-voltage characteristic curve, and when at least one of the first cell current and the second cell current is greater than a corresponding reference current, outputting a data signal having a first logic value as data stored in the memory cell.
