摘要: The controllable heat behavior, including generation and dissipation, is one of the most important physical problems nanoscale phase-change memory (PCM). A method based on accumulation effect to control behavior by synthetically modulating three parameters applied double pulses proposed achieve any expected amorphization ratio. compact model PCM cells used simulate thermal ratio under condition single parameter multi-parameter change pulses. results are in good agreement with experimental results. Repeated experiments also prove feasibility continuous materials.
