    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for manufacturing a double electrode memory array are described. A memory device may be fabricated using a sequence of fabrication steps that include depositing a first stack of materials including a conductive layer, an interface layer, and a first electrode layer. The first stack of materials may be etched to form a first set of trenches. A second stack of materials may be deposited on top of the first stack of materials. The second stack may include a second electrode layer in contact with the first electrode layer, a storage layer, and a third electrode layer. The second stack of materials may be etched to form a second set of trenches above the first set of trenches, and filled with a sealing layer and a dielectric material. The sealing layer may not extend substantially into the first set of trenches.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and apparatus related to dynamically determining read voltages used in memory devices. In one approach, a memory device has a memory array including memory cells. One or more resistors are formed as part of the memory array. A memory controller increments a counter as write operations are performed on the memory cells. When the counter reaches a limit, a write operation is performed on the resistors. The write operation applies voltages to the resistors similarly as applied to the memory cells over time during normal operation. When performing a read operation, a current is applied to one or more of the resistors to determine a boost voltage. When reading the memory cells, a read voltage is adjusted based on the boost voltage. The memory cells are read using the adjusted read voltage.

    摘要: Apparatuses and methods of manufacture are disclosed for phase change memory cell electrodes having a conductive barrier material. In one example, an apparatus includes a first chalcogenide structure and a second chalcogenide structure stacked together with the first chalcogenide structure. A first electrode portion is coupled to the first chalcogenide structure, a second electrode portion is coupled to the second chalcogenide structure, and a third electrode portion is between the first and second electrode portions. A first portion of an electrically conductive barrier material is disposed between the first and third electrode portions. A second portion of the electrically conductive barrier material is disposed between the second and third electrode portions.

    摘要: A method used in forming an array of capacitors comprises forming horizontally-spaced openings into sacrificial material and through insulative material that is between a top and bottom of the sacrificial material. The insulative material at least predominately comprises at least one of a silicon nitride, a silicon boronitride, and a silicon carbonitride. The insulative material with horizontally-spaced openings there-through comprises an insulative horizontal lattice. An insulative lining is deposited within the horizontally-spaced openings and directly above the sacrificial material. The insulative lining at least predominately comprises at least one of a silicon oxide and a silicon oxynitride. During the depositing, the insulative lining is intermittently exposed to a nitrogen-containing plasma. First capacitor electrodes that are individually within individual of the horizontally-spaced openings are formed laterally over the insulative lining that is in the horizontally-spaced openings. The sacrificial material is removed and a capacitor insulator is formed over the first capacitor electrodes and the insulative horizontal lattice. Second-capacitor-electrode material is formed over the capacitor insulator. Structure independent of method is disclosed.
