Abstract
A state may be encoded into a memory cell comprising a phase change material (PM) region and a select device (SD) region by: applying a first current in the memory cell over a first time period, wherein the first current applied over the first time period causes the PM region of the memory cell to be placed into an amorphous state and the SD region of the memory cell to be placed into an amorphous state; and applying a second current in the memory cell over a second time period after the first time period, wherein the second current applied over the third time period causes the SD region of the memory cell to be placed into a crystalline state and the PM region of the memory cell to remain in the amorphous state.
