    摘要: A method for fabricating a phase change memory device including memory cells includes patterning a via to a contact surface of a substrate corresponding to each of an array of conductive contacts to be connected to access circuitry, lining each via with a conformal conductive seed layer to the contact surface, forming a dielectric layer covering the conductive seed layer, and etching a center region of each via to the contact surface to expose the conformal conductive seed layer at the contact surface. The method further includes electroplating phase change material on exposed portions of the conformal conductive seed layer, recessing the phase change material within the center region forming a conductive material that remains conductive upon oxidation, on the recessed phase change material, oxidizing edges of the conformal conductive seed layer formed along sides of each via, and forming a top electrode over each memory cell.

    摘要: A hydrofluorocarbon gas is employed as a polymer deposition gas in an anisotropic etch process employing an alternation of an etchant gas and the polymer deposition gas to etch a deep trench in a semiconductor substrate. The hydrofluorocarbon gas can generate a thick carbon-rich and hydrogen-containing polymer on sidewalls of a trench at a thickness on par with the thickness of the polymer on a top surface of the semiconductor substrate. The thick carbon-rich and hydrogen-containing polymer protects sidewalls of a trench, thereby minimizing an undercut below a hard mask without degradation of the overall rate. In some embodiments, an improvement in the overall etch rate can be achieved.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a substrate including an M2 patterned area. A VA pillar structure is formed over the M2 patterned area. The VA pillar structure includes a substractively patterned metal layer. The VA pillar structure is a sub-lithographic contact. An MTJ stack is formed over the oxide layer and the metal layer of the VA pillar. A size of the MTJ stack and a shape anisotropy of the MTJ stack are independent of a size and a shape anisotropy of the sub-lithographic contact.
