    摘要: A method of fabricating a variable resistance memory device includes a plasma etching process to remove contaminants from variable resistance material that forms variable resistance elements of the device. Bottom electrodes are formed on a semiconductor substrate. Next, an interlayer dielectric layer having trenches that expose the bottom electrodes is formed on the substrate. Then a layer of variable resistance material is formed. The variable resistance material covers the interlayer dielectric layer and fills the trenches. The variable resistance material is then planarized down to at least the top surface of the interlayer dielectric layer, thereby leaving elements of the variable resistance material in the trenches. The variable resistance material in the trenches is etched to remove contaminants, produced as a result of the planarizing process, from atop the variable resistance material in the trenches. A top electrode is then formed on the variable resistance material.

    摘要: A phase changeable memory cell is disclosed. According to embodiments of the invention, a phase changeable memory cell is formed that has a reduced contact area with one of the electrodes, compared to previously known phase changeable memory cells. This contact area can be a sidewall of one of the electrodes, or a perimeter edge of a contact opening through the electrode. Thus, when the thickness of the electrode is relatively thin, the contact area between the electrode and the phase changeable material pattern is relatively very small. As a result, it is possible to reduce power consumption of the phase changeable memory device and to form reliable and compact phase changeable memory cells.
