Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe techniques and configurations for word-line path isolation in a phase change memory (PCM) device. In an embodiment, a method includes increasing a current through a memory cell of a phase change memory (PCM) device, wherein the memory cell is coupled with a capacitor and subsequent to said increasing the current, generating a transient current through the memory cell by discharge of the capacitor to reset the memory cell. In another embodiment, a method includes increasing a current through a memory cell of a phase change memory (PCM) device and controlling the current to be greater than a threshold current and lower than a hold current of the memory cell to set the memory cell. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
