    摘要: Provided are methods for forming conductive plug structures, such as via plugs, from a plurality of conductive layer patterns and methods of fabricating semiconductor devices, including semiconductor memory devices such as phase change semiconductor memory devices. An example method forms a small via structure by forming a conductive layer on a semiconductor substrate. A molding insulating layer is formed on the conductive layer and a via hole is formed through the insulating layer to expose a region of the conductive layer. A first via filling layer is formed and then partially removed to form a partial via plug. The formation and removal of the phase change material layer are then repeated as necessary to form a multilayer plug structure that substantially fills the via hole with the multilayer structure typically exhibiting reduced defects and damage than plug structures prepared by conventional methods.

    摘要: A phase-changeable memory device includes a phase-changeable material pattern and first and second electrodes electrically connected to the phase-changeable material pattern. The first and second electrodes are configured to provide an electrical signal to the phase-changeable material pattern. The phase-changeable material pattern includes a first phase-changeable material layer and a second phase-changeable material layer. The first and second phase-changeable material patterns have different chemical, physical, and/or electrical characteristics. For example, the second phase-changeable material layer may have a greater resistivity than the first phase-changeable material layer. For instance, the first phase-changeable material layer may include nitrogen at a first concentration, and the second phase-changeable material layer may include nitrogen at a second concentration that is greater than the first concentration. Related devices and fabrication methods are also discussed.

    摘要: A phase change memory cell includes an interlayer insulating layer formed on a semiconductor substrate, and a first electrode and a second electrode disposed in the interlayer insulating layer. A phase change material layer is disposed between the first and second electrodes. The phase change material layer may be an undoped GeBiTe layer, a doped GeBiTe layer containing an impurity or a doped GeTe layer containing an impurity. The undoped GeBiTe layer has a composition ratio within a range surrounded by four points (A1(Ge21.43, Bi16.67, Te61.9), A2(Ge44.51, Bi0.35, Te55.14), A3(Ge59.33, Bi0.5, Te40.17) and A4(Ge38.71, Bi16.13, Te45.16)) represented by coordinates on a triangular composition diagram having vertices of germanium (Ge), bismuth (Bi) and tellurium (Te). The doped GeBiTe layer contains an impurity and has a composition ratio within a range surrounded by four points (D1(Ge10, Bi20, Te70), D2(Ge30, Bi0, Te70), D3(Ge70, Bi0, Te30) and D4(Ge50, Bi20, Te30)) represented by coordinates on the triangular composition diagram.
