Electric device with phase change material and method of manufacturing the same

An electric device with a body having 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 phase change material constituting
• a conductive path between a first contact area and a second contact area, a cross-section of the conductive path being smaller than the first contact area and the second contact area;
• and
• a heating element arranged in parallel with the resistor, the heating element able to conduct an electric current for enabling a transition from the first phase to the second phase, wherein the heating element has an electrical resistance which is smaller than the first electrical resistance and the second electrical resistance.
