    摘要: A semiconductor substrate is covered by a dielectric region. The dielectric region accommodates a memory element and a selection element forming a phase change memory cell. The memory element is formed by a resistive element and by a storage region of a phase change material extending on and in contact with the resistive element at a contact area. The selection element is formed by a switching region of chalcogenic material embedded in the dielectric region and belonging to a stack extending on the resistive element and including also the storage region. A mold region extends on top of the resistive element and delimits a trench having a substantially elongated shape. At least one portion of the storage region extends in the trench and defines a phase change memory portion over the contact area.

    摘要: A memory cell design is disclosed. In an embodiment, the memory cell structure includes at least one memory bit layer stacked between top and bottom electrodes. The memory bit layer provides a storage element for a corresponding memory cell. One or more additional conductive layers may be included between the memory bit layer and either, or both, of the top or bottom electrodes to provide a better ohmic contact. In any case, a dielectric liner structure is provided on sidewalls of the memory bit layer. The liner structure includes a dielectric layer, and may also include a second dielectric layer on a first dielectric layer. Either or both first dielectric layer or second dielectric layer comprises a high-k dielectric material. As will be appreciated, the dielectric liner structure effectively protects the memory bit layer from lateral erosion and contamination during the etching of subsequent layers beneath the memory bit layer.

    摘要: Some embodiments include methods of forming memory cells. A stack includes ovonic material over an electrically conductive region. The stack is patterned into rails that extend along a first direction. The rails are patterned into pillars. Electrically conductive lines are formed over the ovonic material. The electrically conductive lines extend along a second direction that intersects the first direction. The electrically conductive lines interconnect the pillars along the second direction. Some embodiments include a memory array having first electrically conductive lines extending along a first direction. The lines contain n-type doped regions of semiconductor material. Pillars are over the first conductive lines and contain mesas of the n-type doped regions together with p-type doped regions and ovonic material. Second electrically conductive lines are over the ovonic material and extend along a second direction that intersects the first direction. The second electrically conductive lines interconnect the pillars along the second direction.
