摘要: There is provided a semiconductor storage device which is capable of further reducing a size of a memory cell, and increasing a storage capacity. Plural memory cells each including a transistor formed on a semiconductor substrate, and a variable resistive device having a resistance value changed by voltage supply and connected between source and drain terminals of the transistor are arranged longitudinally and in an array to configure a three-dimensional memory cell array. A memory cell structure has a double channel structure in which an inside of a switching transistor is filled with a variable resistance element, particularly, a phase change material. The switching transistor is turned off by application of a voltage to increase a channel resistance so that a current flows in the internal phase change material to operate the memory.

摘要: In a phase change memory, electric property of a diode used as a selection device is extremely important. However, since crystal grain boundaries are present in the film of a diode using polysilicon, it involves a problem that the off leak property varies greatly making it difficult to prevent erroneous reading. For overcoming the problem, the present invention provides a method of controlling the temperature profile of an amorphous silicon in the laser annealing for crystallizing and activating the amorphous silicon thereby controlling the crystal grain boundaries. According to the invention, variation in the electric property of the diode can be decreased and the yield of the phase-change memory can be improved.
