    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for fabrication of memory cells are described. An electrode layer may have an initial thickness variation after being formed. The electrode layer may be smoothened prior to forming additional layers of a memory cell, thus decreasing the thickness variation. The subsequent layer fabricated may have a thickness variation that may be dependent on the thickness variation of the electrode layer. By decreasing the thickness variation of the electrode layer prior to forming the subsequent layer, the subsequent layer may also have a decreased thickness variation. The decreased thickness variation of the subsequent layer may impact the electrical behavior of memory cells formed from the subsequent layer. In some cases, the decreased thickness variation of the subsequent layer may allow for more predictable voltage thresholds for such memory cells, thus increasing the read windows for the memory cells.

    Abstract: Disclosed technology relates generally to integrated circuits, and more particularly, to structures incorporating and methods of forming metal lines including tungsten and carbon, such as conductive lines for memory arrays. In one aspect, a memory device comprises a lower conductive line extending in a first direction and an upper conductive line extending in a second direction and crossing the lower conductive line, wherein at least one of the upper and lower conductive lines comprises tungsten and carbon. The memory device additionally comprises a memory cell stack interposed at an intersection between the upper and lower conductive lines. The memory cell stack includes a first active element over the lower conductive line and a second active element over the first active element, wherein one of the first and second active elements comprises a storage element and the other of the first and second active elements comprises a selector element. The memory cell stack further includes an electrode interposed between the at least one of the upper and lower conductive lines and the closer of the first and second active elements.
