Abstract: An embodiment method of manufacturing a phase-change memory device includes sequentially depositing a first conducting layer, a phase-change material layer, and a second conducting layer on an interconnect layer and forming an oxygen-free patterned mask on the second conducting layer. The method includes etching the second conducting layer and the phase-change material layer using the oxygen-free patterned mask to thereby form a second electrode and a phase-change element. The method includes etching the oxygen-free patterned mask to thereby form an oxygen-free spacer layer. The method includes etching the first conducting layer to form a first electrode.

Abstract: Memory stacks and method of forming the same are provided. A memory stack includes a bottom electrode layer, a top electrode layer and a phase change layer between the bottom electrode layer and the top electrode layer. A width of the top electrode layer is greater than a width of the phase change layer. A first portion of the top electrode layer uncovered by the phase change layer is rougher than a second portion of the top electrode layer covered by the phase change layer.

Abstract: Some embodiments include an arrangement having a memory tier with memory cells on opposing sides of a coupling region. First sense/access lines are under the memory cells, and are electrically connected with the memory cells. A conductive interconnect is within the coupling region. A second sense/access line extends across the memory cells, and across the conductive interconnect. The second sense/access line has a first region having a second conductive material over a first conductive material, and has a second region having only the second conductive material. The first region is over the memory cells, and is electrically connected with the memory cells. The second region is over the conductive interconnect and is electrically coupled with the conductive interconnect. An additional tier is under the memory tier, and includes CMOS circuitry coupled with the conductive interconnect. Some embodiments include methods of forming multitier arrangements.
