Abstract:
Memory devices and methods for fabricating memory devices have been disclosed. One such memory device includes a first electrode material formed on a word line material. A selector device material is formed on the first electrode material. A second electrode material is formed on the selector device material. A phase change material is formed on the second electrode material. A third electrode material is formed on the phase change material. An adhesion species is plasma doped into sidewalls of the memory stack and a liner material is formed on the sidewalls of the memory stack. The adhesion species intermixes with an element of the memory stack and the sidewall liner to terminate unsatisfied atomic bonds of the element and the sidewall liner.
Abstract:
Memory devices and methods for fabricating memory devices have been disclosed. One such method includes forming the memory stack out of a plurality of elements. An adhesion species is formed on at least one sidewall of the memory stack wherein the adhesion species has a gradient structure that results in the adhesion species intermixing with an element of the memory stack to terminate unsatisfied atomic bonds of the element. The gradient structure further comprises a film of the adhesion species on an outer surface of the at least one sidewall. A dielectric material is implanted into the film of the adhesion species to form a sidewall

Memory devices and methods for fabricating memory devices have been disclosed. One such method includes forming a memory stack out of a plurality of elements. A sidewall liner is formed on a sidewall of the memory stack using a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process, including an adhesion species and a dielectric, such that the adhesion species intermixes with an element of the memory stack to terminate unsatisfied atomic bonds of the element and the dielectric forms a dielectric film with the adhesive species on the sidewall.
