20130058152 | METHOD, SYSTEM, AND DEVICE FOR PHASE CHANGE MEMORY SWITCH WALL CELL WITH APPROXIMATELY HORIZONTAL ELECTRODE CONTACT - Embodiments disclosed herein may include depositing a storage component material over and/or in a trench in a dielectric material, including depositing the storage component material on approximately vertical walls of the trench and a bottom of the trench. Embodiments may also include etching the storage component material so that at least a portion of the storage component material remains on the approximately vertical walls and the bottom of the trench, wherein the trench is contacting an electrode and a selector such that storage component material on the bottom of the trench contacts the electrode. | 03-07-2013 |
20130058158 | METHOD, SYSTEM, AND DEVICE FOR L-SHAPED MEMORY COMPONENT - Embodiments disclosed herein may relate to forming reduced size storage components in a cross-point memory array. In an embodiment, a storage cell comprising an L-shaped storage component having an approximately vertical portion extending from a first electrode positioned below the storage material to a second electrode positioned above and/or on the storage component. A storage cell may further comprise a selector material positioned above and/or on the second electrode and a third electrode positioned above and/or on the selector material, wherein the approximately vertical portion of the L-shaped storage component comprises a reduced size storage component in a first dimension. | 03-07-2013 |
20130187111 | Memory Cells - Some embodiments include memory cells which contain chalcogenide material having germanium in combination with one or both of antimony and tellurium. An atomic percentage of the germanium within the chalcogenide material is greater than 50%; and may be, for example, within a range of from greater than or equal to about 52% to less than or equal to about 78%. In some embodiments, the memory cell has a top electrode over the chalcogenide material, a heater element under and directly against the chalcogenide material, and a bottom electrode beneath the heater element. The heater element may be L-shaped, with the L-shape having a vertical pillar region joining with a horizontal leg region. A bottom surface of the horizontal leg region may be directly against the bottom electrode, and a top surface of the vertical pillar region may be directly against the chalcogenide material. | 07-25-2013 |
