摘要
Phase change memory (PCM) research has largely focused on bulk properties to evaluate cell efficiency. Now both electrical and thermal interface resistances are characterized and shown to be critical for understanding power in a novel Damascene-GST cell. Interfaces reduce reset power 20% and reset current 40% and allow reset current to scale faster than it would without interfaces.
