Multilevel phase-change memory, operating method and manufacture method thereof

摘要

A multilevel phase-change memory, operating method and manufacturing method thereof. The phase-change memory includes two phase-change layers and electrodes, which are configured in a parallel structure to form a memory cell. A voltage-drive mode is employed to control and drive the memory such that multilevel memory states may be achieved by imposing different voltage levels. The provided multilevel phase-change memory has more bits and higher capacity than that of the memory with a single phase-change layer.
