Abstract: An electronic package and a manufacturing method thereof are provided, in which an electronic component is disposed on a substrate and covered with an encapsulation layer, and a frame body is embedded in the encapsulation layer and protrudes from the substrate. Therefore, the frame body can disperse thermal stress, thereby preventing warping from occurring to the electronic package.

Abstract: A phase-change memory (PCM) cell is provided to include a first electrode, a second electrode, and a phase-change feature disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. The phase-change feature is configured to change its data state based on a write operation performed on the PCM cell. The write operation includes a reset stage and a set stage. In the reset stage, a plurality of reset current pulses are applied to the PCM cell, and the reset current pulses have increasing current amplitudes. In the set stage, a plurality of set current pulses are applied to the PCM cell, and the set current pulses exhibit an increasing trend in current amplitude. The current amplitudes of the set current pulses are smaller than those of the reset current pulses.

Abstract: A method of extending a lifetime of a memory cell is provided. The method includes detecting, by a memory controller, whether a memory cell has failed or not; repairing, by the memory controller, the memory cell by applying a first pulse having a first amplitude to the memory cell, in response to determining that the memory cell has failed; and writing, by the memory controller, input data to the memory cell by applying a second pulse having a second amplitude less than the first amplitude, in response to repairing the memory cell. In one expect, the detecting includes writing, by the memory controller, additional input data to the memory cell; reading, by the memory controller, data stored by the memory cell; comparing, by the memory controller, the data stored by the memory cell with the additional input data; and determining whether the memory cell has failed according to the comparison.
