A memory cell includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and phase-change material between the first electrode and the second electrode. The phase-change material defines a narrow region. The memory cell includes first insulation material having a first thermal conductivity and contacting the phase-change material. A maximum thickness of the first insulation material contacts the narrow region. The memory cell includes a second insulation material having a second thermal conductivity greater than the first thermal conductivity and contacting the first insulation material.
