    摘要: A memory element, a threshold switching element, or the series combination of a memory element and a threshold switching element may be used for coupling conductive lines in an electrically programmable matrix array. Leakage may be reduced by optionally placing a breakdown layer in series with the phase-change material and/or threshold switching material between the conductive lines. The matrix array may be used in a programmable logic device.

    摘要: By using a resistive film as a shunt, the snapback exhibited when transitioning from the reset state or amorphous phase of a phase change material, may be reduced or avoided. The resistive film may be sufficiently resistive that it heats the phase change material and causes the appropriate phase transitions without requiring a dielectric breakdown of the phase change material.

    摘要: An electronic device including a planar segmented contact. A method for forming the device includes depositing a first insulator on a substrate, forming an opening in the first insulator, disposing a conductive material in the opening where the conductive material defines two or more conductive regions, forming a second insulator over the conductive layer, removing a portion of the second insulator to expose less than all of the conductive regions, recessing at least one of the exposed conductive regions, forming a third insulator over the recessed conductive region, and planarizing to expose at least one of the non-recessed conductive regions without exposing a recessed conductive region. An electrically stimulable material may then be formed over an exposed non-recessed conductive region.

    摘要: A non-volatile memory element includes a first interlayer insulation layer 11 having a first through-hole 11a, a second interlayer insulation layer 12 having a second through-hole 12a formed on the first interlayer insulation layer 11, a bottom electrode 13 provided in the first through-hole 11, recording layer 15 containing phase change material provided in the second through-hole 12, a top electrode 16 provided on the second interlayer insulation layer 12, and a thin-film insulation layer 14 formed between the bottom electrode 13 and the recording layer 15. In accordance with this invention, the diameter D1 of a bottom electrode 13 buried in a first through-hole 11a is smaller than the diameter D2 of a second through-hole 12a, thereby decreasing the thermal capacity of the bottom electrode 13. Therefore, when a pore 14a is formed by dielectric breakdown in a thin-film insulation layer 14 and the vicinity is used as a heating region, the amount of heat escaping to the bottom electrode 13 is decreased, resulting in higher heating efficiency.
