Chalcogenide phase-change materials (PCMs), such as Ge-Sb-Te alloys, have shown
outstanding properties, which has led to their successful use for a long time in optical …

Phase change materials are materials that exist in at least two structurally distinct solid
phases, an amorphous and one (or more) crystalline phases. Many materials display phase …

Phase-change memory (PCM) has undergone significant academic and industrial research
in the last 15 years. After much development, it is now poised to enter the market as a …

An integrated circuit includes a 3D NAND memory array with a stack of conductive strips and
a capacitor with a stack of capacitor terminal strips. Multiple conductive strips in the stack of …

Various new nonvolatile memory (NVM) technologies have emerged recently. Among all the
investigated new NVM candidate technologies, spin-torque-transfer memory (STT-RAM, or …

In this paper, recent progress of phase change memory (PCM) is reviewed. The electrical
and thermal properties of phase change materials are surveyed with a focus on the …

Phase-change random-access memory (PCRAM) is one of the leading candidates for next-
generation data-storage devices, but the trade-off between crystallization (writing) speed …

The authors survey the current state of phase change memory (PCM), a nonvolatile solid-
state memory technology built around the large electrical contrast between the highly …

Nonvolatile RAM using resistance contrast in phase-change materials [or phase-change
RAM (PCRAM)] is a promising technology for future storage-class memory. However, such a …

Phase change materials (PCMs) can exist in at least two different phases (an amorphous
and one or more crystalline phases), and they can be switched repeatedly between these …
