    摘要: A phase change memory includes a cup-shaped heater element formed above a body. A tapered phase change region is formed on the cup-shaped heater element. The cup-shaped heater element is formed by depositing a stop layer of a first dielectric material over the body. A first sacrificial layer is deposited over the stop layer, the first sacrificial layer being of a second dielectric material that can be etched selectively with respect to the first dielectric material. An opening is etched in the first sacrificial layer and the stop layer. A heating layer is formed in the opening. The opening is filled with a filling material to obtain a structure having a cup-shaped heating region formed in the stop layer and excess portions extending over said stop layer. The excess portions by an etch selective with respect to the first dielectric material are removed.

    摘要: A phase change memory cell includes a phase change layer of a phase change material on a semiconductor body. A hard mask structure is formed on the phase change layer and a resist mask is formed on the hard mask structure. A hard mask is formed by shaping the hard mask structure using the resist mask. The phase change layer is shaped using the hard mask. The resist mask is removed before shaping the phase change layer.

    摘要: A bipolar selection transistor and a circuitry MOS transistor for a memory device are formed in a semiconductor body. The bipolar selection transistor is formed by implanting a buried collector, implanting a base region on the buried collector, forming a silicide protection mask on the semiconductor body, and implanting an emitter region and a control contact region. The circuitry MOS transistor is formed by defining a gate on the semiconductor body, forming lateral spacers on the sides of the gate and implanting source and drain regions on the sides of the lateral spacers. Then, a silicide region is formed on the emitter, base contact, source and drain regions and the gate, in a self-aligned way. The lateral spacers are multilayer structures including at least two different layers, one of which is used to form the silicide protection mask on the bipolar selection transistor. Thereby, the dimensions of the lateral spacers are decoupled from the thickness of the silicide protection mask.
