    摘要: A method for reactive ion etching of SiO2 and an etch stop barrier for use in such an etching is provided. A silicon nitride (SixNy) barrier having a Six to Ny ratio (x:y) of less than about 0.8 and preferably the stoichiometric amount of 0.75 provides excellent resilience to positive mobile ion contamination, but poor etch selectivity. However, a silicon nitride barrier having a ratio of Six to Nx (x:y) of 1.0 or greater has excellent etch selectivity with respect to SiO2 but a poor barrier to positive mobile ion contamination. A barrier of silicon nitride is formed on a doped silicon substrate which barrier has two sections. One section has a greater etch selectivity with respect to silicon dioxide than the second section and the second section has a greater resistance to transmission of positive mobile ions than the first section. One section adjacent the silicon substrate has a silicon to nitrogen ratio of less than about 0.8. The second section, formed on top of the first section is formed with the ratio of the silicon to nitrogen of greater than about 0.8. Preferably the two sections together are from about 50 to about 100 nanometers thick.

    摘要: An array of phase change memory cells is manufactured by forming a separation layer over an array of contacts, forming a patterning layer on the separation layer and forming an array of mask openings in the patterning layer using lithographic process. Etch masks are formed within the mask openings by a process that compensates for variation in the size of the mask openings that result from the lithographic process. The etch masks are used to etch through the separation layer to define an array of electrode openings exposing the underlying contacts. Electrode material is deposited within the electrode openings; and memory elements are formed over the bottom electrodes. Finally, bit lines are formed over the memory elements to complete the memory cells. In the resulting memory array, the critical dimension of the top surface of bottom electrode varies less than the width of the memory elements in the mask openings.

    摘要: A system and method for operating a collection of memory cells includes storing binary data values and parity data values by associating binary values with a common adjustable characteristic parameter of a memory cell collection. Probability distribution functions for values of the characteristic parameter of the memory cell collection are read and constructed. Binary data values and parity data values stored in the memory cell collection are retrieved. Parity data for error detection and error correction is evaluated in the binary data values.
