    摘要: An anti-fuse one-time-programmable (OTP) nonvolatile memory cell has a P well substrate with two P.sup.-doped regions. Another N.sup.+doped region, functioning as a bit line, is positioned adjacent and between the two P.sup.-doped regions on the substrate. An anti-fuse is defined over the N.sup.+doped region. Two insulator regions are deposited over the two P.sup.-doped regions. An impurity doped polysilicon layer is defined over the two insulator regions and the anti-fuse. A polycide layer is defined over the impurity doped polysilicon layer. The polycide layer and the polysilicon layer function as a word line. A programmed region, i.e., a link, functioning as a diode, is formed on the anti-fuse after the anti-fuse OTP nonvolatile memory cell is programmed. The array structure of anti-fuse OTP nonvolatile memory cells and methods for programming, reading, and fabricating such a cell are also disclosed.

    摘要: A method is described for self-aligning a bottom electrode in a phase change random access memory PCRAM device where a top electrode serves as a mask for self-aligning etching of the bottom electrode. The bottom electrode has a top surface that is planarized by chemical mechanical polishing. The top electrode also has a top surface that is planarized by chemical mechanical polishing. A bottom electrode layer like TiN is formed over a substrate and prior to the formation of a via during subsequent process steps. A first dielectric layer is formed over the bottom electrode layer, and a second dielectric layer is formed over the first dielectric layer. A via is formed at a selected section that extends through the first and second dielectric layers.

    摘要: A memory cell device includes a memory cell access layer, a dielectric material over the memory cell access layer, a memory material structure within the dielectric material, and a top electrode in electrical contact with the memory material structure. The memory material structure has upper and lower memory material portions and a memory material element therebetween. The lower memory material layer is in electrical contact with a bottom electrode. The lower memory material layer has an average lateral dimension. The memory material element defines an electrical property state change region therein and has a minimum lateral dimension which is substantially less than the average lateral dimension. In some examples the memory material element is a tapered structure with the electrical property state change region at the junction of the memory material element and the lower memory material layer.

    摘要: An embodiment of our invention includes a method of programming at least one phase change memory block, the at least one block comprising at least one phase change memory cell, the at least one cell comprising at least one phase change material. The method includes the steps of transitioning all cells within the at least one block to a first state and, after all cells within the at least one block have been transitioned to the first state, transitioning at least one cell within the at least one block to at least a second state. Transitioning a cell to the at least second state is faster than transitioning a cell to the first state. At least the step of transitioning all cells within the at least one block to a first state may include transitioning all cells within the at least one block in a substantially simultaneous manner.

A method for programming disclosed herein includes determining a data value for the memory cell, and applying a pulse pair to store the data value. The pulse pair includes an initial pulse having a pulse shape adapted to preset the phase change material in the memory cell to a normalizing resistance state, and a subsequent pulse having a pulse shape adapted to set the phase change material from the normalizing resistance state to a resistance corresponding to the determined data value.
