    摘要: An ovonic threshold switch includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and an In-doped chalcogenide-based selector layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, in which the In-doped chalcogenide-based selector layer has an In compound content of about 2 at. % to about 10 at. %. A memory cell including the In-doped chalcogenide-based selector layer is also provided.

    摘要: To form a memory cell with a phase change element, a hole is formed through an insulator to a bottom electrode, and a phase change material is deposited on the insulator surface covering the hole. A confining structure is formed over the phase change material so the phase change material expands into the hole when heated to melting to become electrically connected to the bottom electrode. A top electrode is formed over and electrically connects to the phase change material. The bottom electrode can include a main portion and an extension having a reduced lateral dimension. The confining structure can include capping material having a higher melting temperature than the phase change material, and sufficient tensile strength to ensure the phase change material moves into the hole when the phase change material melts and expands. The hole can be a J shaped hole.
