    Abstract: Provided are resistive switching memory cells and method of forming such cells. A memory cell includes a resistive switching layer disposed between two buffer layers. The electron barrier height of the material used for each buffer layer is less than the electron barrier height of the material used for the resistive switching layer. Furthermore, the thickness of each buffer layer may be less than the thickness of the resistive switching layer. The buffer layers reduce diffusion between the resistive switching layer and electrodes. Furthermore, the buffer layers improve data retention and prevent unintentional resistive switching when a reading signal is applied to the memory cell. The reading signal uses a low voltage and most of the electron tunneling is blocked by the buffer layers during this operation. On the other hand, the buffer layers allow electrode tunneling at higher voltages used for forming and switching signals.

    Abstract: A method for fabricating a phase change memory pore cell that includes forming a bottom electrode, forming a first dielectric layer on the bottom electrode, forming a sacrificial layer on the first dielectric layer, forming an isolation layer on the sacrificial layer, and forming a second dielectric layer on the isolation layer. The method further includes forming a via overlying the bottom electrode, the via extending to the sacrificial layer, etching through the sacrificial layer to the first dielectric layer to form a pore defined extending through the sacrificial layer and the first dielectric layer, depositing phase change material on the sacrificial layer and into the pore and removing the phase change material formed outside the pore, removing the sacrificial layer to expose the pore, the pore being vertically aligned, and forming a top electrode over the pore.
