Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed herein may relate to programming a memory cell with a programming pulse that comprises a quenching period having different portions. The memory cell may have more than two possible programmed states, where each programmed state of the memory cell includes a different fraction of amorphous material. A memory element may be melted and then quenched. The fraction of amorphous material, and thus the programmed state, may be controlled by selecting one of multiple quenching periods for the programming pulse.
