    摘要: A memory device includes a plurality of memory cells, each memory cell including a switching element and a data storage element having a phase change material, and each memory cell connected to one of a plurality of wordlines and to one of a plurality of bitlines, a decoder circuit configured to determine at least one of the plurality of memory cells as a selected memory cell, and a programming circuit configured to input a program current to the selected memory cell to perform a program operation, to detect a holding voltage of the selected memory cell, and to adjust a magnitude of the program current based on the detected holding voltage. The selected memory cell is turned off when a voltage across the selected memory cell is lower than the holding voltage.
