Abstract

A phase-change random access memory device is provided. The phase-change random access memory device includes a global bit line connected to a write circuit and a read circuit, multiple local bit lines, each being connected to multiple phase-change memory cells, and multiple column select transistors selectively connecting the global bit line with each of the multiple local bit lines, each column select transistor having a resistance that varies depending on its distance from the write circuit and the read circuit.
