ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit includes a bit line, a plurality of access devices coupled to the bit line, and a plate of phase change material. The integrated circuit includes a plurality of phase change elements contacting the plate of phase change material and a plurality of first contacts. Each first contact is coupled between an access device and a phase change element.
