  • Set pulse for phase change memory programming
    Patent number: 9082477
    Abstract: A memory device and method for programming the memory device, including a method for a melting phase change memory cell by applying an electronic signal at a first value and subsequently decreasing the signal value. The phase change memory cell can be substantially crystallized after the decrease in signal value.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 3, 2013
    Date of Patent: July 14, 2015
    Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.
    Inventors: Aswin Thiruvengadam, William Melton, Rich Fackenthal, Andrew Oen

  • Set pulse for phase change memory programming
    Patent number: 8441848
    Abstract: A memory device and method for programming the memory device, more particularly a single pulse algorithm for programming a phase change memory cell or array. The single pulse can heat the memory cell to above its melting point and reduce in signal level so that the memory cell is crystallized.
