摘要: Since a chalcogenide material has low adhesion to a silicon oxide film, there is a problem in that it tends to separate from the film during the manufacturing step of a phase change memory. In addition, since the chalcogenide material has to be heated to its melting point or higher during resetting (amorphization) of the phase change memory, there is a problem of requiring extremely large rewriting current. An interfacial layer comprising an extremely thin insulator or semiconductor having the function as both an adhesive layer and a high resistance layer (thermal resistance layer) is inserted between chalcogenide material layer/interlayer insulative film and between chalcogenide material layer/plug.

摘要: With a high-speed nonvolatile phase change memory, reliability in respect of the number of refresh times is enhanced. In a memory cell forming area of a phase change memory using a MISFET as a transistor for selection of memory cells, a phase change material layer of a memory cell comprising a resistor element, using a phase change material, is formed for common use. As a result, variation in shape and a change in composition of the phase change material, caused by isolation of memory cell elements by etching, are reduced, thereby enhancing reliability of memory cells, in respect of the number of refresh times.
