    Abstract: Provided are methods of forming nonvolatile memory elements using atomic layer deposition techniques, in which at least two different layers of a memory element are deposited sequentially and without breaking vacuum in a deposition chamber. This approach may be used to prevent oxidation of various materials used for electrodes without a need for separate oxygen barrier layers. A combination of signal lines and resistive switching layers may be used to cap the electrodes and to minimize their oxidation. As such, fewer layers are needed in a memory element. Furthermore, atomic layer deposition allows more precise control of electrode thicknesses. In some embodiments, a thickness of an electrode may be less than 50 Angstroms. Overall, atomic layer deposition of electrodes and resistive switching layers lead to smaller thicknesses of entire memory elements making them more suitable for low aspect ratio features of advanced nodes.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention generally relate to memory devices and methods for fabricating such memory devices. In one embodiment, a method for fabricating a resistive switching memory device includes depositing a metallic layer on a lower electrode disposed on a substrate and exposing the metallic layer to an activated oxygen source while heating the substrate to an oxidizing temperature within a range from about 300° C. to about 600° C. and forming a metal oxide layer from an upper portion of the metallic layer during an oxidation process. The lower electrode contains a silicon material and the metallic layer contains hafnium or zirconium. Subsequent to the oxidation process, the method further includes heating the substrate to an annealing temperature within a range from greater than 600° C. to about 850° C. while forming a metal silicide layer from a lower portion of the metallic layer during a silicidation process.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention generally relate to nonvolatile memory devices, such as a ReRAM cells, and methods for manufacturing such memory devices, which includes optimized, atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes for forming metal oxide film stacks. The metal oxide film stacks contain a metal oxide coupling layer disposed on a metal oxide host layer, each layer having different grain structures/sizes. The interface disposed between the metal oxide layers facilitates oxygen vacancy movement. In many examples, the interface is a misaligned grain interface containing numerous grain boundaries extending parallel to the electrode interfaces, in contrast to the grains in the bulk film extending perpendicular to the electrode interfaces. As a result, oxygen vacancies are trapped and released during switching without significant loss of vacancies. Therefore, the metal oxide film stacks have improved switching performance and reliability during memory cell applications compared to traditional hafnium oxide based stacks of previous memory cells.
