    摘要: A non-volatile memory with a self-aligned RRAM element includes a lower electrode element, generally planar in form, having an inner contact surface; an upper electrode element, spaced from the lower electrode element; a containment structure extends between the upper electrode element and the lower electrode element, with a sidewall spacer element having a generally funnel-shaped central cavity with a central aperture; and a spandrel element positioned between the sidewall spacer element and the lower electrode. A RRAM element extends between the lower electrode element and the upper electrode, occupying at least a portion of the sidewall spacer element central cavity and projecting from the sidewall spacer terminal edge toward and making contact with the lower electrode. In this manner, the spandrel element inner surface is spaced from the RRAM element to define a thermal isolation cell adjacent the RRAM element.

    摘要: A memory cell and a process for manufacturing the same are provided. In the process, a first electrode layer is formed on a conductive layer over a substrate, and then a transition metal layer is formed on the first electrode layer. After that, the transition metal layer is subjected to a plasma oxidation step to form a transition metal oxide layer as a precursor of a data storage layer, and a second electrode layer is formed on the transition metal oxide layer. A memory cell is formed after the second electrode layer, the transition metal oxide layer and the first electrode layer are patterned into a second electrode, a data storage layer and a first electrode, respectively.

The bistable resistance random access memory comprises two memory layer stacks per memory cell, the bistable resistance random access memory operates in four logic states, a logic “00” state, a logic “01” state, a logic “10” state and a logic “11” state. The relationship between the four different logic states can be represented mathematically by the two variables n and f and a resistance R. The logic “0” state is represented by a mathematical expression (1+f)R. The logic “1” state is represented by a mathematical expression (n+f)R.

    摘要: A bistable resistance random access memory is described for enhancing the data retention in a resistance random access memory member. A dielectric member, e.g. the bottom dielectric member, underlies the resistance random access memory member which improves the SET/RESET window in the retention of information. The deposition of the bottom dielectric member is carried out by a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition or by high-density-plasma chemical vapor deposition. One suitable material for constructing the bottom dielectric member is a silicon oxide. The bistable resistance random access memory includes a bottom dielectric member disposed between a resistance random access member and a bottom electrode or bottom contact plug. Additional layers including a bit line, a top contact plug, and a top electrode disposed over the top surface of the resistance random access memory member. Sides of the top electrode and the resistance random access memory member are substantially aligned with each other.
