    摘要: Disclosed are a semiconductor memory device and a method of manufacturing the same. A first conductive line extends in a first direction on a substrate and has a plurality of protrusions and recesses that are alternately formed thereon. A second conductive line is arranged over the first conductive line in a second direction such that the first and the second conductive lines cross at the protrusions. A plurality of memory cell structures is positioned on the protrusions of the first conductive line and is contact with the second conductive line. A thermal insulating plug is positioned on the recesses of the first conductive line and reduces heat transfer between a pair of the neighboring cell structures in the first direction. Accordingly, the heat cross talk is reduced between the neighboring cell structures along the conductive line.

    摘要: A phase-change random access memory device includes an isolation layer structure, an insulating interlayer, a spacer, a switching element and a phase-change material (PCM) layer. The isolation layer structure is in a trench on a substrate, defines an active region in the substrate, and has a recess at an upper portion thereof. The insulating interlayer has an opening partially exposing the active region and the isolation layer structure. The spacer is on a sidewall of the opening and fills the recess. The switching element is in the opening on the exposed active region. The PCM layer is electrically connected to the switching element.
