A semiconductor device is provided which includes a bottom electrode contact formed on a substrate, and a dielectric layer formed on the bottom electrode contact. The device further includes a heating element formed in the dielectric layer, wherein the heating element is disposed between two air gaps separating the heating element from the dielectric layer, and a phase change element formed on the heating element, wherein the phase change element includes a substantially amorphous background and an active region, the active region capable of changing phase between amorphous and crystalline. A method of forming such a device is also provided. |
