US Patent 11640842 Resistive memory device and method of programming the same

A method of programming a resistive memory device, and a corresponding resistive memory device, which includes the resistive memory device, in response to a write command, applying a write pulse to a selected memory cell arranged in a region where a selected word line intersects with a selected bit line; and after the applying the write pulse, applying a dummy pulse to at least one unselected memory cell. The at least one unselected memory cell is connected to at least one of the selected word line, the selected bit line, a first word line adjacent to the selected word line, and a first bit line adjacent to the selected bit line.
