Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 14:
15. An apparatus, comprising:
a memory cell comprising:
a first material, wherein:
in response to a first voltage being applied to the memory cell, the first material is configured to switch from having a first resistivity corresponding to a first logic value to having a second resistivity corresponding to a second logic value, the switching of the first material from having the first resistivity to having the second resistivity based at least in part on at least a portion of ions within the first material moving toward an end of the first material while the first material remains in a first phase; and

a second material in a second phase, wherein the memory cell is configured to store a logic value based at least in part on a combination of a resistivity of the first material and a resistivity of the second material, and wherein the first phase is an amorphous phase and the second phase is a crystalline phase.
