摘要:
A spacer covering a sidewall of a contact plug includes a relatively more damaged first portion and a relatively less damaged second portion. An interface of the first and second portions of the spacer is spaced apart from a metal silicide layer of the contact plug. Thus reliability of the semiconductor device may be improved. Related fabrication methods are also described.
摘要:
Phase changeable memory devices are provided including a mold insulating layer on a substrate, the mold insulating layer defining an opening therein. A phase-change material layer is provided in the opening. The phase-change material includes an upper surface that is below a surface of the mold insulating layer. A first electrode is provided in the opening and on the phase-change material layer. A spacer is provided between a sidewall of the mold insulating layer and the phase-change material layer and the first electrode. The upper surface of the first electrode is coplanar with the surface of the mold insulating layer. Related methods are also provided.
摘要:
Methods of fabricating integrated circuit memory cells and integrated circuit memory cells are disclosed. An integrated circuit memory cell can be fabricated by forming a cup-shaped electrode on sidewalls of an opening in an insulation layer and through the opening on an ohmic layer that is stacked on a conductive structure. An insulation filling member is formed that at least partially fills an interior of the electrode. The insulation filling member is formed within a range of temperatures that is sufficiently low to not substantially change resistance of the ohmic layer. A variable resistivity material is formed on the insulation filling member and is electrically connected to the electrode.
