    摘要: A phase change memory may be formed which is amenable to multilevel programming. The phase change material may be formed with a lateral extent which does not exceed the lateral extent of an underlying heater. As a result, the possibility of current bypassing the amorphous phase change material in the reset state is reduced, reducing the programming current that is necessary to prevent this situation. In addition, a more controllable multilevel phase change memory may be formed in some embodiments.

    摘要: A ring shaped heater surrounds a chalcogenide region along the length of a cylindrical solid phase portion thereof defining a change phase memory element. The chalcogenide region is formed in a sub-lithographic pore, so that a relatively compact structure is achieved. Furthermore, the ring contact between the heater and the cylindrical solid phase portion results in a more gradual transition of resistance versus programming current, enabling multilevel memories to be formed.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to the fabrication of spin transfer torque memory elements for non-volatile microelectronic memory devices. The spin transfer torque memory element may include a magnetic tunneling junction connected with specifically sized and/or shaped fixed magnetic layer that can be positioned in a specific location adjacent a free magnetic layer. The shaped fixed magnetic layer may concentrate current in the free magnetic layer, which may result in a reduction in the critical current needed to switch a bit cell in the spin transfer torque memory element.
