    摘要: With a high-speed nonvolatile phase change memory, reliability in respect of the number of refresh times is enhanced. In a memory cell forming area of a phase change memory using a MISFET as a transistor for selection of memory cells, a phase change material layer of a memory cell comprising a resistor element, using a phase change material, is formed for common use. As a result, variation in shape and a change in composition of the phase change material, caused by isolation of memory cell elements by etching, are reduced, thereby enhancing reliability of memory cells, in respect of the number of refresh times.

    摘要: A phase-change memory for employing chalcogenide as a recording medium is disclosed, which prevents the read disturbance from being generated, and reads data at high speed. In a phase-change memory cell array including a selection transistor and chalcogenide, a substrate potential of the selection transistor is isolated in a direction perpendicular to the word lines. During the data recording, a forward current signal flows between the substrate and the source line connected to chalcogenide, and the selection transistor is not used. During the data reading, a desired cell is selected by the selection transistor. Therefore, a recording voltage is greatly higher than the reading voltage, such that the occurrence of read disturbance is prevented, and a high-speed operation is implemented.

    摘要: Manufacturing processes for phase change memory have suffered from the problem of chalcogenide material being susceptible to delamination, since this material exhibits low adhesion to high melting point metals and silicon oxide films. Furthermore, chalcogenide material has low thermal stability and hence tends to sublime during the manufacturing process of phase change memory. According to the present invention, conductive or insulative adhesive layers are formed over and under the chalcogenide material layer to enhance its delamination strength. Further, a protective film made up of a nitride film is formed on the sidewalls of the chalcogenide material layer to prevent sublimation of the chalcogenide material layer.
