    Abstract: A nonvolatile integrated semiconductor memory has an arrangement of layers with a tunnel barrier layer and a charge-storing level. The charge-storing level has a dielectric material which stores scattered in charge carriers in a spatially fixed position. The tunnel barrier layer has a material through which high-energy charge carriers can tunnel. At least one interface surface of the charge-storing level has a greater microscopic roughness than the interface surface of the tunnel barrier layer, which is remote from the charge-storing level. The charge-storing level has a greater layer thickness in first regions than in second regions. This produces a relatively identical distribution and localization of positive and negative charge carriers in the lateral direction. The charge carriers which are scattered into the charge-storing level, therefore, recombine completely, so that the risk of unforeseen data loss during long-term operation of nonvolatile memories is reduced.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a connection electrode for phase change materials, to an associated phase change memory element and to an associated production process, wherein a plurality of separate insulation regions are formed in an electrode material at least at a connection surface. This reduces the overall size of the contact surface, with the result that even with high integration densities, the necessary Joule heating, and therefore programming, at very low currents can be realized.

    Abstract: Memory cells having trench capacitors, the trench capacitor being at least partially filled with a material which could not withstand high-temperature processes used during the fabrication of a memory chip without impairment of its electrical parameters. What is essential to the invention is that the material of the trench capacitor is introduced into the trench after the high-temperature processes. The method according to the invention makes it possible to use dielectric layers having large dielectric constants and electrode layers made of metallic material. The electrical properties of the trench capacitor are thus improved in comparison with known trench capacitors.
