Resistance heating Phase change memory (PCM) is one of the promising technology for future in nonvolatile solid state memory. The concept of phase change memory is the changing state from amorphous to crystalline state. The temperature of changing the amorphous to crystalline is differed according to the phase change material. Ge2Se2T5 is the common phase change material for phase change memory. However the crystalline state for Ge2Se2T5 is (450K-900K). After 900K, the phase change material will melt and become amorphous state. There are few reasons of conducting this project.
