1. A memory circuit, comprising;

  • at least one memory cell including a word line and a bit line; and

    a composite rectifying charge storage device within said memory cell and coupled between said word line and said bit line;

    said composite rectifying charge storage device comprising a rectifier component fabricated with a common conductor forming a side of the rectifier component, and a capacitor component fabricated as a single unitary structure with the rectifier component such that the capacitor component incorporates the common conductor of the rectifier component as a side of the capacitor component, the capacitor component to receive rectified current from the rectifier component over the common conductor.
