We have investigated random-access multilevel storage in phase change memory by staircase-like pulse programming. Staircase-like pulse consists of first sub-pulse and second sub-pulse. Our simulation exhibited that any resistance levels are expected to be randomly accessed by controlling the crystallization with different widths of second sub-pulset2. Based on the simulation results, we did experiment on staircase-like pulse programming. Experimental results showed that the device resistance gradually increased with reducing second sub-pulset2to 0 ns. In other words, random access to any resistance levels was demonstrated to be possible simply by changingt2.

In this study, we investigated ultra-multilevel-storage (UMLS) in lateral phase change memory (PCM) on the basis of device structure, reliability and programming method. We found that the number of resistance levels was limited strictly by the number of PC layers in multilayer multilevel cell (ML-MLC). A number of distinct levels up to 16 were obtained using a simple single-layer multilevel cell (SL-MLC). And material engineering is expected to greatly improve the reliability of MLS. We believe that fast-freely-achievable (FFA)-MLC by stair-like-pulse programming is a very promising method for futures application.
