A phase change memory device may include an integrated circuit substrate and first and second phase change memory elements on the integrated circuit substrate. The first phase change memory element may include a first phase change material having a first crystallization temperature. The second phase change memory element may include a second phase change material having a second crystallization temperature. Moreover, the first and second crystallization temperatures may be different so that the first and second phase change memory elements are programmable at different temperatures. Related methods and systems are also discussed.

Provided is a method of programming a resistance variable memory device. The resistance variable memory device includes a memory cell having multi states and a write driver outputting a program pulse for programming the memory cell into one of the multi states. The method of programming the resistance variable memory device includes applying a first program pulse to the resistance variable memory device and applying a second program pulse to a memory cell when the memory cell is programmed into an intermediate state. When the first program pulse is a reset pulse, the reset pulse is an over program pulse, that is, an over reset pulse. Therefore, the resistance variable memory device can secure a sufficient read margin as well as improve a resistance drift margin.

The present invention relates to a phase changeable structure having decreased amounts of defects and a method of forming the phase changeable structure. A stacked composite is first formed by (i) forming a phase changeable layer including a chalcogenide is formed on a lower electrode, (ii) forming an etch stop layer having a first etch rate with respect to a first etching material including chlorine on the phase changeable layer, and (iii) forming a conductive layer having a second etch rate with respect to the first etching material on the etch stop layer. The conductive layer of the stacked composite is then etched using the first etching material to form an upper electrode. The etch stop layer and the phase changeable layer are then etched using a second etching material that is substantially flee of chlorine to form an etch stop pattern and a phase changeable pattern, respectively.
