Abstract

To provide a resistive memory device having a control unit that controls a plurality of memory cells.SOLUTION: A plurality of memory cells include a first terminal, a second terminal, and a phase change segment including a phase change material that stores information in a plurality of resistance states. The phase change segment is arranged between a first terminal and a second terminal. The phase change material consists of antimony. Further, at least one of the dimensions of the phase change segment is smaller than 15 nanometers. Additional implementations of resistive memory devices include a related method, a related control unit, a related memory cell, and a related computer program product.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
