The present invention provides systems and methods that facilitate formation of semiconductor devices via planarization processes. The present invention utilizes dishing effects that typically occur during a chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) process. A reducing CMP process is performed on a semiconductor device in order to form a passive layer instead of performing a first CMP, followed by a deposition and a second CMP to form a passive layer. The reducing CMP process utilizes a slurry that includes a reducing chemistry that forms the passive layer in a dish region of an electrode. Thus, the passive layer is formed in conjunction with the reducing CMP process utilized for forming the electrode.

The present invention provides a method to fabricate an organic memory device, wherein the fabrication method includes forming a lower electrode, depositing a passive material over the surface of the lower electrode, applying an organic semiconductor material over the passive material, and operatively coupling the an upper electrode to the lower electrode through the organic semiconductor material and the passive material. Patterning of the organic semiconductor material is achieved by depositing a silicon-based resist over the organic semiconductor, irradiating portions of the silicon-based resist and patterning the silicon-based resist to remove the irradiated portions of the silicon-based resist. Thereafter, the exposed organic semiconductor can be patterned, and the non-irradiated silicon-based resist can be stripped to expose the organic semiconductor material that can be employed as a memory cell for single and multi-cell memory devices. A partitioning component can be integrated with the memory device to facilitate stacking memory devices and programming, reading, writing and erasing memory elements.

摘要:
A methodology for forming a memory cell is disclosed, wherein an organic polymer layer is formed over a conductive layer and an electrode layer is formed over the organic polymer layer. A first via is etched into the electrode and organic polymer layers, and a dielectric material is applied over the stack to at least fill in the first via. A second via is then etched into the dielectric material so as to expose and make the electrode layer available as a top electrode. A wordline is then formed over the dielectric material such that the top electrode is connected to the wordline by way of the second via. A memory device formed in accordance with the disclosed methodology includes a top electrode formed over an organic polymer layer, a conductive layer under the organic polymer layer, a via defined by a dielectric material and located above the top electrode, and a wordline formed over the dielectric material such that the top electrode is connected to the wordline by way of the via.
