    摘要: A method is provided for forming a buffered-layer memory cell. The method comprises: forming a bottom electrode; forming a colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) memory film overlying the bottom electrode; forming a memory-stable semiconductor buffer layer, typically a metal oxide, overlying the memory film; and, forming a top electrode overlying the semiconductor buffer layer. In some aspects of the method the semiconductor buffer layer is formed from YBa2Cu3O7−X (YBCO), indium oxide (In2O3), or ruthenium oxide (RuO2), having a thickness in the range of 10 to 200 nanometers (nm). The top and bottom electrodes may be TiN/Ti, Pt/TiN/Ti, In/TiN/Ti, PtRhOx compounds, or PtIrOx compounds. The CMR memory film may be a Pr1−XCaXMnO3 (PCMO) memory film, where x is in the region between 0.1 and 0.6, with a thickness in the range of 10 to 200 nm.

    摘要: A method is provided for forming a Pr0.3Ca0.7MnO3 (PCMO) thin film with crystalline structure-related memory resistance properties. The method comprises: forming a PCMO thin film with a first crystalline structure; and, changing the resistance state of the PCMO film using pulse polarities responsive to the first crystalline structure. In one aspect the first crystalline structure is either amorphous or a weak-crystalline. Then, the resistance state of the PCMO film is changed in response to unipolar pulses. In another aspect, the PCMO thin film has either a polycrystalline structure. Then, the resistance state of the PCMO film changes in response to bipolar pulses.

    摘要: A polycrystalline memory structure is described for improving reliability and yield of devices employing polycrystalline memory materials comprising a polycrystalline memory layer, which has crystal grain boundaries forming gaps between adjacent crystallites overlying a substrate. An insulating material is located at least partially within the gaps to at least partially block the entrance to the gaps. A method of forming a polycrystalline memory structure is also described. A layer of material is deposited and annealed to form a polycrystalline memory material having gaps between adjacent crystallites. An insulating material is deposited over the polycrystalline memory material to at least partially fill the gaps, thereby blocking a portion of each gap.
