  • Abstract
    In this paper, we present a new simulation methodology for analyzing cell characteristics of the chalcogenide based phase-change device, PRAM (Phase-change Random Access Memory), which is the future-generation non-volatile memory. Using the new simulation methodology, we analyze the effect of process variation, which is the most sensitive factor to operate the cell of PRAM.
