Phase change memory devices can have bottom patterns on a substrate. Line-shaped or L-shaped bottom electrodes can be formed in contact with respective bottom patterns on a substrate and to have top surfaces defined by dimensions in x and y axes directions on the substrate. The dimension along the x-axis of the top surface of the bottom electrodes has less width than a resolution limit of a photolithography process used to fabricate the phase change memory device. Phase change patterns can be formed in contact with the top surface of the bottom electrodes to have a greater width than each of the dimensions in the x and y axes directions of the top surface of the bottom electrodes and top electrodes can be formed on the phase change patterns, wherein the line shape or the L shape represents a sectional line shape or a sectional L shape of the bottom electrodes in the x-axis direction.

摘要:
A phase-changeable layer and a method of forming the same are disclosed. In the method, a first hydrogen gas is introduced into a reaction chamber into which a substrate is loaded at a first flow rate to form first plasma. A primary cyclic CVD process is carried out using precursors in the reaction chamber to form a lower phase-changeable layer having a first grain size on the substrate. A second hydrogen gas is introduced into the reaction chamber at a second flow rate less than the first flow rate to form second plasma. A secondary cyclic CVD process is carried out using the precursors in the reaction chamber to form an upper phase-changeable layer having a second grain size smaller than the first grain size on the substrate, thereby forming a phase-changeable layer. Thus, the phase-changeable layer may have strong adhesion strength with respect to a lower layer and good electrical characteristics.
