    摘要: Provided herein is method of programming a resistive memory device, the resistive memory device including a first electrode, a second electrode, a passive layer between the first and second electrode, and an active layer between the first and second electrodes. In the programming method, an electrical potential is applied across the first and second electrodes from higher to lower potential in the direction from the active layer to the passive layer so that electronic charge carriers enter the active layer and are held by traps therein. In erasing the memory device, an electrical potential is applied across the first and second electrodes from higher to lower potential in the direction from the passive layer to the active layer so that electronic charge carriers are moved from the active layer.

    摘要: In the present method of undertaking a self aligned source etch of a semiconductor structure, a substrate has oxide thereon. First and second adjacent stacked gate structures are provided on the substrate. Oxide spacers are provided on the respective first and second adjacent sides of the first and second gate stacked structures, and polysilicon spacers are provided on the respective oxide spacers. A self aligned source etch is undertaken using the gate structures, oxide spacers, and polysilicon spacers as a mask. The polysilicon spacers are then removed, and metal, for example cobalt, is provided on the substrate, using the oxide spacers as a mask. A silicidation step is undertaken to form metal silicide common source line on the substrate.

    摘要: A memory cell array comprises a two dimensional array of memory cells fabricated on a semiconductor substrate. The memory cells are arranged in a plurality of rows and a plurality columns. Each column of memory cells comprising a plurality of alternating channel regions and source/drain regions. A conductive interconnect is positioned above each source/drain region and coupled to only one other source/drain region. The one other source/drain region is in a second column that is adjacent to the column. The conductive interconnects are positioned such that every other conductive interconnect connects to the adjacent column to a right side of the column and every other conductive interconnect connects to adjacent column to the left side of the column. A plurality of source/drain control lines extends between adjacent columns of memory cells and electrically couples to each conductive interconnect that couples between the adjacent columns.
