Abstract: An embodiment phase change material (PCM) switch may include a phase change material element, a first electrode, a second electrode, and a direct heating element including an ionic resistance change material contacting the phase change material element. The phase change material element may include a phase change material that switches from an electrically conducting phase to an electrically insulating phase or from an electrically insulating phase to an electrically conducting phase by application of a heat pulse generated by the heating element. The PCM switch may further include a switching electrode contacting the ionic resistance change material such that the ionic resistance change material may be switched from a high resistance to a low resistance state by application of voltages to the first electrode, the second electrode, and the switching electrode. Electrical currents within the ionic resistance change material may generate heat that switches the phase change material element.

Abstract: A layer stack including a first bonding dielectric material layer, a dielectric metal oxide layer, and a second bonding dielectric material layer is formed over a top surface of a substrate including a substrate semiconductor layer. A conductive material layer is formed by depositing a conductive material over the second bonding dielectric material layer. The substrate semiconductor layer is thinned by removing portions of the substrate semiconductor layer that are distal from the layer stack, whereby a remaining portion of the substrate semiconductor layer includes a top semiconductor layer. A semiconductor device may be formed on the top semiconductor layer.
