    摘要: Methods for treating a substrate in preparation for a subsequent process are presented, the method including: receiving the substrate, the substrate comprising conductive regions and dielectric regions; and applying an oxidizing agent to the substrate in a manner so that the dielectric regions are oxidized to become increasingly hydrophilic to enable access to the conductive regions in the subsequent process, wherein the dielectric region is treated to a depth in the range of approximately 1 to 5 atomic layers. In some embodiments, methods further include processing the substrate, wherein processing the conductive regions are selectively enhanced. In some embodiments, the oxidizing agent includes atmospheric pressure plasma and UV radiation.

    摘要: Resistive switching memory elements are provided that may contain electroless metal electrodes and metal oxides formed from electroless metal. The resistive switching memory elements may exhibit bistability and may be used in high-density multi-layer memory integrated circuits. Electroless conductive materials such as nickel-based materials may be selectively deposited on a conductor on a silicon wafer or other suitable substrate. The electroless conductive materials can be oxidized to form a metal oxide for a resistive switching memory element. Multiple layers of conductive materials can be deposited each of which has a different oxidation rate. The differential oxidization rates of the conductive layers can be exploited to ensure that metal oxide layers of desired thicknesses are formed during fabrication.
