Abstract:
A phase-change memory cell having a reduced electrode-chalcogenide interface resistance and a method for making the phase-change memory cell are disclosed: An interface layer is formed between an electrode layer and a chalcogenide layer that and provides a reduced resistance between the chalcogenide-based phase-change memory layer and the electrode layer. Exemplary embodiments provide that the interface layer comprises a tungsten carbide, a molybdenum carbide, a tungsten boride, or a molybdenum boride, or a combination thereof. In one exemplary embodiment, the interface layer comprises a thickness of between about 1 nm and about 10 nm.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe chalcogenide glass compositions and chalcogenide switch devices (CSD.) The compositions generally may include 3% to 15%, silicon, 8% to 16% germanium in, greater than 45% selenium, and 20% to 35% arsenic, by weight. The amount of silicon and germanium in a composition generally may include more than 10% by weight. CSDs may include various compositions of chalcogenide glass, and a plurality of them may be used in a memory device, such as die with a memory component, and may be used in various electronic components and systems. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
