    Abstract: A phase change memory includes a temperature sensor having a resistance variable with temperature with the same law as a phase-change storage element. The temperature sensor is formed by a resistor of chalcogenic material furnishing an electrical quantity that reproduces the relationship between the resistance of a phase change memory cell and temperature; the electrical quantity is processed so as to generate reference quantities as necessary for writing and reading the memory cells. The chalcogenic resistor has the same structure as a memory cell and is programmed with precision, preferably in the reset state.

    Abstract: The phase change memory cell is formed by a resistive element and by a memory region of a phase change material. The resistive element has a first thin portion having a first sublithographic dimension in a first direction; and the memory region has a second thin portion having a second sublithographic dimension in a second direction which is transverse to said first direction. The first and second thin portions are in direct electrical contact and define a contact area having sublithographic extent. The second thin portion is formed in a slit of sublithographic dimensions. According to a first solution, oxide spacer portions are formed in a lithographic opening, delimited by a mold layer. According to a different solution, a sacrificial region is formed on top of a mold layer and is used for forming the sublithographic slit in the mold layer.
