Low cross talk resistive cross point memory devices are provided, along with methods of manufacture and use. The memory device comprises a bit formed using a perovskite material interposed at a cross point of an upper electrode and lower electrode. Each bit has a resistivity that can change through a range of values in response to application of one, or more, voltage pulses. Voltage pulses may be used to increase the resistivity of the bit, decrease the resistivity of the bit, or determine the resistivity of the bit. Memory circuits are provided to aid in the programming and read out of the bit region.

A metal(hfac), alkene ligand precursor has been provided. The alkene ligand includes double bonded carbon atoms, with first and second bonds to the first carbon atom, and third and fourth bonds to the second carbon atom. The first, second, third, and fourth bonds are selected from a the group consisting of H, C.sub.1 to C.sub.8 alkyl, C.sub.1 to C.sub.8 haloalkyl, and C.sub.1 to C.sub.8 alkoxyl. As a general class, these precursors are capable of high metal deposition rates and high volatility, despite being stable in the liquid phase at low temperatures. Copper deposited with this precursor has low resistivity and high adhesive characteristics. A synthesis method has been provided which produces a high yield of the above-described alkene ligand class of metal precursors.

A method is provided for forming a 1T1R resistive memory array. The method of forming a 1T1R resistive memory array structure on a semiconductor substrate comprises forming an array of transistors comprising a polycide/oxide/nitride gate stack with nitride sidewalls, the transistors comprising a source and a drain region adjacent to the gate stack. An insulating layer is deposited and planarized level with the polycide/oxide/nitride gate stack. Bit contact openings are etched to expose the drain region. Bottom electrodes are formed by depositing and planarizing a metal. A resistive memory material is deposited over the bottom electrodes. Top electrodes are formed over the resistive memory material. The 1T1R resistive memory array may be connected to support circuits that are formed on the same substrate as the memory array. The support circuits may share many of the process steps with the formation of the transistors for the memory array.
