A method of programming a memory array including a plurality of memory cells is provided. The memory cells may include phase-change memory elements. In one aspect, the method includes applying in succession first through nth current pulses to each of the memory cells to be programmed to a first state (e.g., a crystalline state), where a current amplitude of the first through nth current pulses decreases with each successive pulse, and where a pulse duration of the first through nth current pulses increases with each successive pulse.
