Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of forming a resistive random access memory (RRAM) cell. The method forms a bottom electrode over a bottom electrode via. The method further forms a variable resistive dielectric layer over the bottom electrode, and a top electrode over the variable resistive dielectric layer. The method forms a top electrode via vertically extending outward from an upper surface of the top electrode at a position centered along a first axis that is laterally offset from a second axis centered upon the bottom electrode via. The top electrode via has a smaller width than the top electrode. Laterally offsetting the top electrode via from the bottom electrode via provides the top electrode via with good contact resistance.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a resistive random access memory (RRAM) cell architecture, with off-axis or laterally offset top electrode via (TEVA) and bottom electrode via (BEVA). Traditional RRAM cells having a TEVA and BEVA that are on-axis can cause high contact resistance variations. The off-axis TEVA and BEVA in the current disclosure pushes the TEVA away from the insulating layer over the RRAM cell, which can improve the contact resistance variations. The present disclosure also relates to a memory device having a rectangular shaped RRAM cell having a larger area that can lower the forming voltage and improve data retention.

Abstract: An integrated circuit device including a resistive random access memory (RRAM) cell formed over a substrate. The RRAM cell includes a top electrode having an upper surface. A blocking layer covers a portion of the upper surface. A via extends above the top electrode within a matrix of dielectric. The upper surface of the top electrode includes an area that interfaces with the blocking layer and an area that interfaces with the via. The area of the upper surface that interfaces with the via surrounds the area of the upper surface that interfaces with the blocking layer. The blocking layer is functional during processing to protect the RRAM cell from etch damage while being structured in such a way as to not interfere with contact between the overlying via and the top electrode.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a memory cell comprising a high electron affinity dielectric layer at a bottom electrode. The high electron affinity dielectric layer is one of multiple different dielectric layers vertically stacked between the bottom electrode and a top electrode overlying the bottom electrode. Further, the high electrode electron affinity dielectric layer has a highest electron affinity amongst the multiple different dielectric layers and is closest to the bottom electrode. The different dielectric layers are different in terms of material systems and/or material compositions. It has been appreciated that by arranging the high electron affinity dielectric layer closest to the bottom electrode, the likelihood of the memory cell becoming stuck during cycling is reduced at least when the memory cell is RRAM. Hence, the likelihood of a hard reset/failure bit is reduced.
