    Abstract: A phase change memory device performs a program operation by receiving program data to be programmed in selected memory cells, sensing read data already stored in the selected memory cells by detecting respective magnitudes of verify currents flowing through the selected memory cells when a verify read voltage is applied to the selected memory cells, determining whether the read data is identical to the program data, and upon determining that the program data for one or more of the selected memory cells is not identical to the corresponding read data, programming the one or more selected memory cells with the program data.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a phase-changeable memory device and method of programming the same. The phase-changeable memory device includes memory cells each having multiple states, and a program pulse generator providing current pulses to the memory cells. The program pulse generator initializes a memory cell to a reset or set state by applying a first pulse thereto and thereafter provides a second pulse to program the memory cell to one of the multiple states. According to the invention, as a memory cell is programmed after being initialized to a reset or set state, it is possible to correctly program the memory cell without influence from the previous state of the memory cell.

    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory device may include a memory cell array having a plurality of nonvolatile memory cells arranged in a matrix including a plurality of rows of the nonvolatile memory cells. Each of a plurality of word lines may be coupled with nonvolatile memory cells of a respective row of the matrix. A row decoder may be coupled to the plurality of word lines with the row decoder being configured to disable at least one of the word lines using a row bias having a level that is adjusted responsive to changes in temperature. Such a nonvolatile memory device may operate with reduced standby currents.
