Abstract:
A method of operating a phase change memory device includes flowing a write current of a first polarity through a phase change memory element of a selected phase change memory cell, and flowing a read current of a second polarity opposite to the first polarity through the phase change memory element of the selected phase change memory cell. A first junction between the phase change memory element and a first electrode and a second junction between the phase change memory element and a second electrode exhibit asymmetric thermoelectric heat generation during the step of flowing the write current.

Claim (Index 5):
The phase change memory device of  claim 4 , wherein:\n a difference between the first Seebeck coefficient at 300 degrees Celsius and the second Seebeck coefficient at 300 degrees Celsius is at least 30 microvolts per Kelvin; the phase change memory element comprises a material having a greater Seebeck coefficient than the second electrode; the first junction has a first thermal conductance and a second junction has a second thermal conductance that is less than the first thermal conductance; the first material has a first thermal conductivity at 300 degrees Celsius; the second material has a second thermal conductivity at 300 degrees Celsius; and the first thermal conductivity at 300 degrees Celsius is greater than the second thermal conductivity at 300 degrees Celsius at least by a factor of 2.
