Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a phase-change random access memory device. The method includes forming a word line on a semiconductor substrate, forming a switching element material and a hard mask material on the word line, etching the switching element material and the hard mask material to form a hole exposing the word line, forming an insulating material on a sidewall and a bottom of the hole, removing the hard mask material; and forming a heater material on the switching element material. The hard mask material has different etch selectivity from the insulating material.
