    摘要: An integrated circuit includes a memory element configured to be programmed to any one of at least three resistance states and a circuit. The circuit is configured to program the memory element to a selected one of the at least three resistance states by applying a pulse to the memory element. The pulse includes one of at least three tail portions wherein each tail portion corresponds to one of the at least three resistance states.

    摘要: A layer of nanopaiticles having a dimension on the order of 10 nm is employed to form a current constricting layer or as a hardmask for forming a current constricting layer from an underlying insulator layer. The nanoparticles are preferably self-aligning and/or self-planarizing on the underlying surface. The current constricting layer may be formed within a bottom conductive plate, within a phase change material layer, within a top conductive plate, or within a tapered liner between a tapered via sidewall and a via plug contains either a phase change material or a top conductive material. The current density of the local structure around the current constricting layer is higher than the surrounding area, thus allowing local temperature to rise higher than surrounding material. The total current required to program the phase change memory device, and consequently the size of a programming transistor, is reduced due to the current constricting layer.
