1. A method of operating a nonvolatile memory device, comprising:
- providing a non-volatile memory cell comprising a semiconductor diode steering element, a semiconductor read/write switching element, and at least one conductive layer located between the steering element and the, and a crystallization template layer which directly physically contacts the steering element but does not contact the read/write switching element, wherein the crystallization template layer comprises a C49 phase crystallization template material selected from the group consisting of titanium silicide, titanium germanide or titanium silicide-germanide read/write switching element;
first switching the read/write switching element from a first resistivity state to a second resistivity state different from the first resistivity state; and
second switching the read/write switching element from the second resistivity state to the first resistivity state.
