Abstract

Embodiments disclosed herein may relate to programming a memory cell with a programming pulse that includes a quenching period. The quenching period includes an initial portion and a subsequent portion, with the subsequent portion different than the initial portion. During the initial portion, the amplitude of the programming pulse may be reduced to a first target amplitude level, and during the subsequent portion, the amplitude of the programming pulse may be further reduced to a second target amplitude level.
