    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for manufacturing a double electrode memory array are described. A memory device may be fabricated using a sequence of fabrication steps that include depositing a first stack of materials including a conductive layer, an interface layer, and a first electrode layer. The first stack of materials may be etched to form a first set of trenches. A second stack of materials may be deposited on top of the first stack of materials. The second stack may include a second electrode layer in contact with the first electrode layer, a storage layer, and a third electrode layer. The second stack of materials may be etched to form a second set of trenches above the first set of trenches, and filled with a sealing layer and a dielectric material. The sealing layer may not extend substantially into the first set of trenches.

    Abstract: An example three-dimensional (3-D) memory array includes a first plurality of conductive lines separated from one other by an insulation material, a second plurality of conductive lines, and a plurality of pairs of conductive pillars arranged to extend substantially perpendicular to the first plurality of conductive lines and the second plurality of conductive lines. The conductive pillars of each respective pair are coupled to a same conductive line of the second plurality of conductive lines. A storage element material is formed partially around the conductive pillars of each respective pair.

    Abstract: A multi-layer memory device with an array having multiple memory decks of self-selecting memory cells is provided in which N memory decks may be fabricated with N+1 mask operations. The multiple memory decks may be self-aligned and certain manufacturing operations may be performed for multiple memory decks at the same time. For example, patterning a bit line direction of a first memory deck and a word line direction in a second memory deck above the first memory deck may be performed in a single masking operation, and both decks may be etched in a same subsequent etching operation. Such techniques may provide efficient fabrication which may allow for enhanced throughput, additional capacity, and higher yield for fabrication facilities relative to processing techniques in which each memory deck is processed using two or more mask and etch operations per memory deck.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for memory cells with asymmetrical electrode interfaces are described. A memory cell with asymmetrical electrode interfaces may mitigate shorts in adjacent word lines, which may be leveraged for accurately reading a stored value of the memory cell. The memory device may include a self-selecting memory component with a top surface area in contact with a top electrode and a bottom surface area in contact with a bottom electrode, where the top surface area in contact with the top electrode is a different size than the bottom surface area in contact with the bottom electrode.
