    摘要: Some embodiments include methods of forming semiconductor constructions. Carbon-containing material is formed over oxygen-sensitive material. The carbon-containing material and oxygen-sensitive material together form a structure having a sidewall that extends along both the carbon-containing material and the oxygen-sensitive material. First protective material is formed along the sidewall. The first protective material extends across an interface of the carbon-containing material and the oxygen-sensitive material, and does not extend to a top region of the carbon-containing material. Second protective material is formed across the top of the carbon-containing material, with the second protective material having a common composition to the first protective material. The second protective material is etched to expose an upper surface of the carbon-containing material. Some embodiments include semiconductor constructions, memory arrays and methods of forming memory arrays.

    摘要: An array is formed by a plurality of cells, wherein each cell is formed by a bipolar junction selection transistor having a first, a second, and a control region. The cell includes a common region, forming the second regions of the selection transistors, and a plurality of shared control regions overlying the common region. Each shared control region forms the control regions of a plurality of adjacent selection transistors and accommodates the first regions of the plurality of adjacent selection transistors as well as contact portions of the shared control region. Blocks of adjacent selection transistors of the plurality of selection transistors share a contact portion and the first regions of a block of adjacent selection transistors are arranged along the shared control region between two contact portions. A plurality of biasing structures are formed between pairs of first regions of adjacent selection transistors, for modifying a charge distribution in the shared control region below the biasing structures.

    摘要: Small phase change memory cells may be formed by forming a segmented heater over a substrate. A stop layer may be formed over the heater layer and segmented with the heater layer. Then, sidewall spacers may be formed over the segmented heater to define an aperture between the sidewall spacers that may act as a mask for etching the stop layer over the segmented heater. As a result of the etching using the sidewall spacers as a mask, sublithographic pore may be formed over the heater. Phase change material may be formed within the pore.

    摘要: A semiconductor substrate is covered by a dielectric region. The dielectric region accommodates a memory element and a selection element forming a phase change memory cell. The memory element is formed by a resistive element and by a storage region of a phase change material extending on and in contact with the resistive element at a contact area. The selection element is formed by a switching region of chalcogenic material embedded in the dielectric region and belonging to a stack extending on the resistive element and including also the storage region. A mold region extends on top of the resistive element and delimits a trench having a substantially elongated shape. At least one portion of the storage region extends in the trench and defines a phase change memory portion over the contact area.
