    Abstract: Memory programming methods and memory systems are described. One example memory programming method includes first applying a first signal to a memory cell to attempt to program the memory cell to a desired state, wherein the first signal corresponds to the desired state, after the first applying, determining that the memory cell failed to place in the desired state, after the determining, second applying a second signal to the memory cell, wherein the second signal corresponds to another state which is different than the desired state, and after the second applying, third applying a third signal to the memory cell to program the memory cell to the desired state, wherein the third signal corresponds to the desired state. Additional method and apparatus are described.

    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.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include a device having memory elements and methods of storing information into the memory elements. Such methods can include increasing a temperature of a portion of a memory element for a time interval during an operation to change a resistance state of the memory element. After the time interval, the methods can include decreasing the temperature of the portion of the memory element. Decreasing the temperature can be performed using a signal having a first negative slope and a second negative slope. Other embodiments are described.
