摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for efficient fabrication of memory structures are described. A multi-deck memory device may be fabricated using a sequence of fabrication steps that include depositing a first metal layer, depositing a cell layer on the first metal layer to form memory cells of the first memory deck, and depositing a second metal layer on the cell layer. The second metal layer may be deposited using a single deposition process rather than using multiple deposition processes. A second memory deck may be formed on the second metal layer such that stacked memory cells from the first and second deck share the use of the second metal layer. Using a single deposition process for the second metal layer may decrease the quantity of fabrication steps used to fabricate the multi-deck memory array and reduce or eliminate the exposure of the cell material to metal etchants.

摘要: A memory system may include separate amounts or types of resistive material that may be deposited over memory cells and conductive vias using separate resistive layers in the access lines. A first resistive material layer may be deposited over the memory cells prior to performing an array termination etch used to deposit the conductive via. The array termination etch may remove the first resistive material over the portion of the array used to deposit the conductive via. A second resistive material layer may be deposited after the etch has occurred and the conductive via has been formed. The second resistive material layer may be deposited over the conductive via.

摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for a low resistance crosspoint architecture are described. A manufacturing system may deposit a thermal barrier material, followed by a first layer of a first conductive material, on a layered assembly including a patterned layer of electrode materials and a patterned layer of a memory material. The manufacturing system may etch a first area of the layered assembly to form a gap in the first layer of the first conductive material, the thermal barrier material, the patterned layer of the memory material, and the patterned layer of electrode materials. The manufacturing system may deposit a second conductive material to form a conductive via in the gap, where the conductive via extends to a height within the layered assembly that is above the thermal barrier material.
