Abstract
The Level Set Method and a GST thermodynamic model are coupled to an electrothermal solver to simulate GST based PCM cells. A good qualitative agreement with published results is obtained in the cell amorphization simulation and the ability of our method to simulate crystallization is demonstrated.
