A non-destructive technique and related array for writing and reading magnetic memory cells, including sampling a first signal of a selected read line corresponding to select memory cells, applying a magnetic field to the select memory cells, sampling a second signal of the selected read line, and comparing the first and second signals to determine a logic state of the select memory cells.
摘要:
A method of manufacturing a memory device is provided. The method includes forming an electrode over a substrate. The method also includes forming an opening in the electrode to provide a tapered electrode contact surface proximate the opening. The method further includes forming a phase change feature over the electrode and on the tapered electrode contact surface.
摘要:
A method and system is disclosed for concentrating high energy particles on a predetermined area on a target semiconductor substrate. A high energy source for generating a predetermined amount of high energy particles, and an electro-magnetic radiation source for generating low energy beams are used together. The system also uses a mask set having at least one mask with at least one alignment area and at least one mask target area thereon, the mask target area passing more high energy particles then any other area of the mask. At least one protection shield is incorporated in the system for protecting the alignment area from being exposed to the high energy particles, wherein the mask is aligned with the predetermined target semiconductor substrate by passing the low energy beams through the alignment area, wherein the high energy particles generated by the high energy source pass through the mask target area to land on the predetermined area on the target semiconductor substrate.

摘要:
A phase change memory structure and method for forming the same, the method including providing a substrate comprising a conductive area; forming a spacer having a partially exposed sidewall region at an upper portion of the spacer defining a phase change memory element contact area; and, wherein the spacer bottom portion partially overlaps the conductive area. Both these two methods can reduce active area of a phase change memory element, therefore, reducing a required phase changing electrical current.
