    Abstract: A cross-point memory array and method for manufacturing. The memory array includes a plurality of first conductive line structures formed in a dielectric material layer; a plurality of memory elements, each memory element including a fill-in phase change memory (PCM) cell, and an access device enabling read or write access to said memory PCM structure; a plurality of second conductive line structures, the plurality of second conductive structures perpendicularly oriented relative to the plurality of first conductive structures. An individual memory element of the plurality of memory elements is conductively connected at a respective intersection between a first conductive line structure and a second conductive line structure. Each phase change memory (PCM) cell of a memory element at an intersection having a sub-lithographic conductive tuning liner disposed on only one sidewall of the PCM cell. The manufacturing maintains a minimal number of masking and processing steps.

    Abstract: Non-volatile memory cell having small programming power and a reduced resistance drift are provided. In one embodiment of the present application, a non-volatile memory cell is provided that includes a layer of dielectric material that has a via opening that exposes a surface of a bottom electrode. A metal nitride spacer is located along a bottom portion of each sidewall surface of the layer of dielectric material and in the via opening. A phase change material structure is present in the via opening and contacting a top portion of each sidewall surface of the layer of dielectric material and a topmost surface of each metal nitride spacer. A top electrode is located on a topmost surface of the phase change material structure.
