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 19):
The method  claim 11 , wherein:\n the phase change memory device comprises a three-dimensional array of phase change memory cells that includes a vertical stack of multiple two-dimensional arrays of phase change memory cells; each two-dimensional array of phase change memory cells is accessed by respective lower metal lines and respective upper metal lines that extend along different horizontal directions; and upper access metal lines of an underlying two-dimensional array of phase change memory cells are merged with lower access metal lines of an overlying two-dimensional array of phase change memory cells.
