Abstract

The present invention is a non-volatile memory cell containing at least two distinct memory zones, each formed in a resistivity-change material, the memory cell containing at least one heating element for each memory zone, each heating element having at least two ends, one of which is connected to a supply line and the other of which is brought into contact with the resistivity-change material, characterized in that the resistivity-change material is arranged in a single block common to each of the memory zones of the memory cell, so as to create distinct memory zones locally.
