摘要:
An IC device comprises a stack of contact levels, each including conductive layer and an insulation layer. A dielectric liner surrounds an interlevel conductor within an opening in the stack of contact levels. The opening passes through a portion of the stack of contact levels. The interlevel conductor is electrically insulated from the conductive layers of each of the contact levels through the dielectric liner. A portion of the conductive layer at the opening is recessed relative to adjacent insulation layers. The dielectric liner may have portions extending between adjacent insulation layers.

A memory cell is arranged to enhance the electrical field of the memory element. The memory cell has a metal-oxide memory element, a nonconductive element, and a conductive element. The metal-oxide memory element is in a current path between a first electrode at a first voltage and a second electrode at a second voltage. The nonconductive element is adjacent to the metal-oxide memory element.

A device on an integrated circuit includes a stack of alternating semiconductor lines and insulating lines, and a gate structure over the stack of semiconductor lines. The gate structure includes a vertical portion adjacent the stack on the at least one side, and horizontal extension portions between the semiconductor lines. Sides of the insulating lines can be recessed relative to sides of the semiconductor lines, so at least one side of the stack includes recesses between semiconductor lines. The horizontal extension portions can be in the recesses. The horizontal extension portions have inside surfaces adjacent the sides of the insulating lines, and outside surfaces that can be flush with the sides of the semiconductor lines. The device may include a second gate structure spaced away from the first mentioned gate structure, and an insulating element between horizontal extension portions of the second gate structure and the first mentioned gate structure.

Memory devices and methods for operating such devices are described which can effectively program the metal-oxide memory elements in an array, while also avoiding applying unnecessarily high voltage pulses. Programming operations described herein include applying a lower voltage pulse across a metal-oxide memory element to establish a desired resistance state, and only applying a higher voltage pulse when the lower voltage pulse is insufficient to program the memory element. In doing so, issues associated with applying unnecessarily high voltages across the memory element can be avoided.
