    摘要: A multi-layered barrier metal thin film is deposited on a substrate by atomic layer chemical vapor deposition (ALCVD). The multi-layer film may comprise several different layers of a single chemical species, or several layers each of distinct or alternating chemical species. In a preferred embodiment, the multi-layer barrier thin film comprises a Tantalum Nitride layer on a substrate, with a Titanium Nitride layer deposited thereon. The thickness of the entire multi-layer film may be approximately fifty Angstroms. The film has superior film characteristics, such as anti-diffusion capability, low resistivity, high density, and step coverage, when compared to films deposited by conventional chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The multi-layered barrier metal thin film of the present invention has improved adhesion characteristics and is particularly suited for metallization of a Copper film thereon.

    摘要: An asymmetric memory cell and method for forming an asymmetric memory cell are provided. The method comprises: forming a bottom electrode having a first area; forming an electrical pulse various resistance (EPVR) material overlying the bottom electrode; forming a top electrode overlying the EPVR layer having a second area, less than the first area. In some aspects the second area is at least 20% smaller than the first area. The EPVR is a material such as colossal magnetoresistance (CMR), high temperature super conducting (HTSC), or perovskite metal oxide materials. The method further comprises: inducing an electric field between the electrodes; inducing current flow through the EPVR adjacent the top electrode; and, in response to inducing current flow through the EPVR adjacent the top electrode, modifying the resistance of the EPVR. Typically, the resistance is modified within the range of 100 ohms to 10 mega-ohms.
