    Abstract: An embodiment phase change material (PCM) switch may include a phase change material element, a first electrode, a second electrode, and a direct heating element including an ionic resistance change material contacting the phase change material element. The phase change material element may include a phase change material that switches from an electrically conducting phase to an electrically insulating phase or from an electrically insulating phase to an electrically conducting phase by application of a heat pulse generated by the heating element. The PCM switch may further include a switching electrode contacting the ionic resistance change material such that the ionic resistance change material may be switched from a high resistance to a low resistance state by application of voltages to the first electrode, the second electrode, and the switching electrode. Electrical currents within the ionic resistance change material may generate heat that switches the phase change material element.

    Abstract: A device structure includes a first series connection of a first phase change memory (PCM) switch and a second PCM switch. The first PCM switch includes a first heater line, a first PCM line, and a first contact electrode and a second contact electrode located on the first heater line. The second PCM switch includes a second heater line, a second PCM line, and a third contact electrode and a fourth contact electrode located on the second heater line. The second contact electrode is electrically connected to the third contact electrode. The fourth contact electrode is electrically grounded. One of the first contact electrode and the second contact electrode includes an radio-frequency (RF) signal input port. Another of the first contact electrode and the second contact electrode comprises an RF signal output port. The device structure may function as a combination PCM switch that decreases noise level during signal transmission.
