Structure For Confining The Switching Current In Phase Memory (Pcm) Cells

View page
US Patent:
7488967, Feb 10, 2009
Filed:
Apr 6, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/100312
Inventors:
Geoffrey W. Burr - Cupertino CA, US
Chung Hon Lam - Peekskill NY, US
Simone Raoux - Santa Clara CA, US
Stephen M. Rossnagel - Pleasantville NY, US
Alejandro G. Schrott - New York NY, US
Jonathan Z. Sun - Shrub Oak NY, US
Hemantha K. Wickramasinghe - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
H01L 29/02
US Classification:
257 2, 257 3, 257 4
Abstract:
Disclosed are a phase change memory cell and a method of forming the memory cell. The memory cell comprises a main body of phase change material connected directly to a bottom contact and via a narrow channel of phase change material to a top contact. The channel is tapered from the top contact towards the main body. A minimum width of the channel has a less than minimum lithographic dimension and is narrower than a width of the main body. Therefore, the channel provides a confined region for the switching current path and restricts phase changing to within the channel. In addition an embodiment of the memory cell isolates the main body of phase change material by providing a space between the phase change material and the cell walls. The space allows the phase change material to expand and contract and also limits heat dissipation.

Current Constricting Phase Change Memory Element Structure

View page
US Patent:
7745807, Jun 29, 2010
Filed:
Jul 11, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/776301
Inventors:
Chieh-Fang Chen - Banciao, TW
Shih Hung Chen - Jhudong Township, TW
Yi-Chou Chen - Hsinchu, TW
Thomas Happ - Tarrytown NY, US

Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
H01L 29/02
US Classification:
257 2, 257 3, 257 4, 257 5, 257E29002, 438102, 438103, 365163
Abstract:
A layer of nanoparticles having a dimension on the order of 10 nm is employed to form a current constricting layer or as a hardmask for forming a current constricting layer from an underlying insulator layer. The nanoparticles are preferably self-aligning and/or self-planarizing on the underlying surface. The current constricting layer may be formed within a bottom conductive plate, within a phase change material layer, within a top conductive plate, or within a tapered liner between a tapered via sidewall and a via plug contains either a phase change material or a top conductive material. The current density of the local structure around the current constricting layer is higher than the surrounding area, thus allowing local temperature to rise higher than surrounding material. The total current required to program the phase change memory device, and consequently the size of a programming transistor, is reduced due to the current constricting layer.
