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 3):
The phase change memory device of  claim 2 , wherein:\n the asymmetric thermoelectric voltage generation increases a magnitude of a minimum required programming current for amorphization of the phase change memory element in the forward bias mode and decreases the magnitude of the minimum required programming current for amorphization of the phase change memory element in the reverse bias mode; and the magnitude of the minimum required programming current for amorphization of the phase change memory element in the forward bias mode is greater than the magnitude of the minimum required programming current for amorphization of the phase change memory element in the reverse bias mode by 10-100%.
