    摘要: A phase change memory apparatus includes a phase change memory array in which a plurality of phase change memory devices are arranged, and a pulse generator that supplies a writing current pulse, an erasure current pulse, and a reverse repair current pulse to the phase change memory devices in the phase change memory array. The reverse repair current pulse has opposite direction to the writing current pulse and the erasure current pulse of the phase change memory devices, and is of such a size that resultant Joule heat and electromigration move the elements of the reverse repair current pulse. The reverse repair current pulse has a width equal to or more than a smaller one of duration of a normal writing operation and duration of a normal erasure operation.
