    摘要: Structures and methods to form a bistable resistive random access memory for reducing the amount of heat dissipation from electrodes by confining a heating region in the memory cell device are described. The heating region is confined in a kernel comprising a programmable resistive memory material that is in contact with an upper programmable resistive memory member and a lower programmable resistive memory member. The lower programmable resistive member has sides that align with sides of a bottom electrode comprising a tungsten plug. The lower programmable resistive member and the bottom electrode function a first conductor so that the amount of heat dissipation from the first conductor is reduced. The upper programmable resistive memory material and a top electrode function as a second conductor so that the amount of heat dissipation from the second conductor is reduced.

    摘要: A resistance random access memory in a bridge structure is disclosed that comprises a contact structure where first and second electrodes are located within the contact structure. The first electrode has a circumferential extending shape, such as an annular shape, surrounding an inner wall of the contact structure. The second electrode is located within an interior of the circumferential extending shape and separated from the first electrode by an insulating material. A resistance memory bridge is in contact with an edge surface of the first and second electrodes. The first electrode in the contact structure is connected to a transistor and the second electrode in the contact structure is connected to a bit line. A bit line is connected to the second electrode by a self-aligning process.

The bistable resistance random access memory comprises two memory layer stacks per memory cell, the bistable resistance random access memory operates in four logic states, a logic “00” state, a logic “01” state, a logic “10” state and a logic “11” state. The relationship between the four different logic states can be represented mathematically by the two variables n and f and a resistance R. The logic “0” state is represented by a mathematical expression (1+f)R. The logic “1” state is represented by a mathematical expression (n+f)R. The logic “2” state is represented by a mathematical expression (1+nf)R. The logic “3” state is represented by a mathematical expression n(1+f)R.
