Abstract:
A method of etching a material that includes comprising germanium, antimony, and tellurium encompasses exposing said material to a plasma-enhanced etching chemistry comprising Cl2 and CH2F2. A method of forming a variable resistance memory cell includes forming a conductive inner electrode material over a substrate. A variable resistance chalcogenide material comprising germanium, antimony, and tellurium is formed over the conductive inner electrode material. A conductive outer electrode material is formed over the chalcogenide material. The germanium, antimony, and tellurium-comprising material is plasma etched using a chemistry comprising Cl2 and CH2F2.
