摘要： A memory cell structure and method for forming the same. The method includes forming a pore within a dielectric layer. The pore is formed over the center of an electrically conducting bottom electrode. The method includes depositing a thermally insulating layer along at least one sidewall of the pore. The thermally insulating layer isolates heat from phase change current to the volume of the pore. In one embodiment phase change material is deposited within the pore and the volume of the thermally insulating layer. In another embodiment a pore electrode is formed within the pore and the volume of the thermally insulating layer, with the phase change material being deposited above the pore electrode. The method also includes forming an electrically conducting top electrode above the phase change material.

摘要： Vertical field effect transistor semiconductor structures and methods for fabrication of the vertical field effect transistor semiconductor structures provide an array of semiconductor pillars. Each vertical portion of each semiconductor pillar in the array of semiconductor pillars has a linewidth greater than a separation distance to an adjacent semiconductor pillar. Alternatively, the array may comprise semiconductor pillars with different linewidths, optionally within the context of the foregoing linewidth and separation distance limitations. A method for fabricating the array of semiconductor pillars uses a minimally photolithographically dimensioned pillar mask layer that is annularly augmented with at least one spacer layer prior to being used as an etch mask.

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.
