    摘要: Rather than depositing a heater material into a pore, a heater material may be first blanket deposited over a select device. The heater material may then be covered by a mask, such that the mask and the heater material may be etched to form a stack. Then, the region between adjacent stacks that form separate cells may be filled with an insulator. After removing the mask material, a pore is then formed in the insulator over the heater. This may then be filled with chalcogenide to form a phase change memory.

    摘要: An endless manual control for use in automation systems, such as automated recording consoles, which controls levels and other parameters of audio, video and other signals, by generating, storing, sending and receiving electronic control signals. The control's internal circuitry translates control movements into electronic signals describing the control's movements. These electronic signals, including external electronic signals which are inputed during certain modes of operation, are fed into a circuit for updating the circuit's memory of control levels. When either the minimum or maximum control level extreme is reached, the circuitry triggers a mechanism to stop the manual rotation of the control in the direction which had or would have caused that control level extreme to be reached.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a phase change memory (PCM) includes forming a pinch plate layer transversely to a PCM layer that is insulated from the pinch plate layer by a dielectric layer. Biasing the pinch plate layer causes a depletion region to form in the PCM layer. During a read of the PCM in a reset or partial reset state the depletion region increases the resistance of the PCM layer significantly.

    摘要: A phase change memory cell may be formed with a pair of chalcogenide phase change layers that are separated by a breakdown layer. The breakdown layer may be broken down prior to use of the memory so that a conductive breakdown point is defined within the breakdown layer. In some cases, the breakdown point may be well isolated from the surrounding atmosphere, reducing heat losses and decreasing current consumption. In addition, in some cases, the breakdown point may be well isolated from overlying and underlying electrodes, reducing issues related to contamination. The breakdown point may be placed between a pair of chalcogenide layers with the electrodes outbound of the two chalcogenide layers.
