Abstract: A semiconductor structure for a phase-change memory device includes a heater element on a portion of a bottom electrode in a first dielectric material. The semiconductor structure includes a layer of phase-change material that surrounds a portion of a second dielectric material, where the layer of phase-change material forms a three-dimensional shape around the portion of the second dielectric material. A conductive liner is under a first portion of the layer of phase-change material and surrounds a portion of a bottom surface of a hardmask layer and vertical portions of the hardmask layer. A conductive material is on a portion of a top surface of the second dielectric material and abuts the vertical portions of the layer of phase-change material below the conductive liner and the hardmask layer. A top electrode is on a top surface of the conductive material.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for memory cell formation in three dimensional memory arrays using atomic layer deposition (ALD) are described. The method may include depositing a stack of layers over a substrate and forming multiple piers through the stacks of layers. The method may further include forming multiple cavities through the stacks of layers and forming multiple voids between layers of the stacks of layers. Additionally, the method may include forming multiple word lines based on depositing a conductive material in the voids and forming multiple memory cells based on depositing an active material on an inside surface of the cavities using ALD.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for a vertical memory architecture are described. A memory device may include memory cells arranged in a three-dimensional vertical memory architecture. Each memory cell may include a storage element (e.g., a chalcogenide material), where a logic state may be programmed at the storage element based on a polarity of an applied voltage that exceeds a threshold voltage. The storage element may be coupled with a selection element and a conductive line. The selection element may be coupled with a bit line decoder and a word line decoder via vertical pillars. The selection element may selectively couple the storage element with the bit line decoder. In some examples, an activation voltage for the selection element may be less than a threshold voltage of the storage element.
