    摘要: A method of incorporating oxygen vacancies near an electrode/oxide interface region of a complex metal oxide programmable memory cell which includes forming a first electrode of a metallic material which remains metallic upon oxidation, forming a second electrode facing the first electrode, forming an oxide layer in between the first and second electrodes, applying an electrical signal to the first electrode such that oxygen ions from the oxide layer are embedded in and oxidize the first electrode, and forming oxygen vacancies near the electrode/oxide interface region of the complex metal oxide programmable memory cell.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure configurable for use as a nonvolatile storage element includes a first electrode, an insulating layer formed on at least a portion of an upper surface of the first electrode, and a pillar traversing the insulating layer and being recessed relative to an upper surface of the insulating layer. The pillar includes a heater formed on at least a portion of the upper surface of the first electrode and a collar formed on sidewalls of the insulating layer proximate the heater and on at least a portion of an upper surface of the heater. The structure further includes a PCM layer formed on at least a portion of the upper surface of the insulating layer and substantially filling a volume defined by the upper surface of the heater and at least a portion of an upper surface of the collar. A second electrode is formed on at least a portion of an upper surface of the phase change material layer.

    摘要: A memory cell comprises a first feature and a second feature. The second feature comprises a dielectric material and defines an opening at least partially overlying the first feature. A third feature is formed on the first feature and partially fills the opening in the second feature. What is more, a phase change material at least fills a volume between the second feature and the third feature. At least a portion of the phase change material is operative to switch between lower and higher electrical resistance states in response to an application of a switching signal to the memory cell.
