    Abstract: A programming method for a phase-change random access memory (PRAM) may be provided. The programming method may include determining an amorphous state of a chalcogenide material using programming pulses to form programming areas having threshold voltages corresponding to logic high and logic low, and/or controlling a trailing edge of programming pulses during programming to control a quenching speed of the chalcogenide material so as to adjust a threshold voltage of the chalcogenide material. Accordingly, programming pulses corresponding to logic low or logic high may have uniform magnitudes regardless of a corresponding logic level. Accordingly, reliability of a PRAM device may be improved.
