ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device that includes a phase change material for protecting the device from failure caused by overheating. The semiconductor device is adapted to detect a rapid increase in current due to heat and also adapted to break a circuit in the detected rapid increase in current by depositing a phase change material inside or outside a cell actually operated in the semiconductor device.
