    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To distinct different program states in an adequate time duration in multi-level programming.
    SOLUTION: A phase change memory device 10 includes a heater element (2) and a memory region (3) of a chalcogenic material. The memory region has a phase change portion (5) contacted electrically and thermally with the heater element so that a first current path is formed between the heater element and the remaining portion (4) of the memory element. The phase change portion (5) has capacity in correlation with information stored in the memory region and resistivity larger than that of the remaining portion (4). A parallel current path (11) extends between the heater element (2) and the remaining portion (4) of the memory element and has resistivity depending on the largeness of the phase change portion (5) and smaller than that of the phase change portion (5) so that the whole resistance of the phase change memory device is adjusted.
