Abstract: A semiconductor structure may include a resistive random access memory device embedded between an upper metal interconnect and a lower metal interconnect in a backend structure of a chip. The resistive random access memory may include a first electrode and a second electrode separated by a dielectric film. A portion of the dielectric film directly above the first electrode may be crystalline. The semiconductor structure may include a stud below and in electrical contact with the first electrode and the lower metal interconnect and a dielectric layer between the upper metal interconnect and the lower metal interconnect. The dielectric layer may separate the upper metal interconnect from the lower metal interconnect. The crystalline portion of the dielectric film may include grain boundaries that extend through an entire thickness of the dielectric film. The crystalline portion of the dielectric film may include grains.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an RRAM cell includes forming a first wire, forming an insulator on the first wire, the insulator having a pore and an insulator surface, and forming a first electrode layer on the first wire and the insulator, the first electrode having an electrode surface. The method further includes recessing the first electrode layer such that the electrode surface is recessed toward the first wire from the insulator surface, forming a switching layer on the insulator and the first electrode, and forming a second electrode on the switching layer.

Abstract: A memory structure comprises a ReRAM module embedded in a substrate. An insulative layer is formed on the substrate. A first electrode is located on the insulative layer. The first electrode is proximately connected to a first end of the ReRAM module and comprises a first surface area. A second electrode is located on the insulative layer. The second electrode is proximately connected to a second end of the ReRAM module. The second electrode comprises a second surface area, a plasma-interacting component, and a resistive component. The resistive component is located between the plasma-interacting component and the ReRAM module. A ratio of the first surface area to the second surface area creates a voltage between the first electrode and second electrode when the first surface area and second surfaces area are exposed to an application of plasma. The voltage forms a conductive filament in the ReRAM module.

Abstract: A vertical resistive memory array is presented. The array includes a pillar electrode and a switching liner around the side perimeter of the pillar electrode. The array includes two or more vertically stacked single cell (SC) electrodes connected to a first side of the switching liner. The juxtaposition of the switching liner, the pillar electrode, and each SC electrode forms respective resistance switching cells (e.g., OxRRAM cell). A vertical group or bank of these cells may be connected in parallel and each share the same pillar electrode. The cells in the vertical cell bank may written to or read from as a group to limit the effects of inconsistent CF formation of any one or more individual cells within the group.
