Abstract
An example embodiment disclosed is a phase change memory cell. The memory cell includes a phase change material and a transducer positioned proximate the phase change material. The phase change material is switchable between at least an amorphous state and a crystalline state. The transducer is configured to activate when the phase change material is changed from the amorphous state to the crystalline state. In a particular embodiment, the transducer is ferroelectric material.
