Abstract

The method according to the invention is directed to manufacturing an electric device ( 100 ) according to the invention, having a body ( 102 ) with a resistor comprising a phase change material being changeable between a first phase and a second phase, the resistor having a first electrical resistance when the phase change material is in the first phase, and a second electrical resistance different from the first electrical resistance when the phase change material is in the second phase. The resistor is a nanowire (NW) electrically connecting a first conductor ( 172, 120 ) and a second conductor ( 108, 121 ).; The method comprises the step of providing a body ( 102 ) having the first conductor ( 172, 120 ), providing the first conductor ( 172, 120 ) with the nanowire (NW) thereby electrically connecting the nanowire (NW) and the first conductor ( 172, 120 ), and providing the nanowire (NW) with the second conductor ( 108, 121 ) thereby electrically connecting the nanowire (NW) and the second conductor ( 108, 121 ).
