Abstract

The invention relates to an improvement of phase-change memory single device structure, the invention is characterized in that above round bottom electrode, the effective control of transporting down the heat energy of heating phase-change material is implemented, through a certain thickness concentric cylinder dielectric layer, on the one hand, the invention protects well CMOS-circuit which composes the lower punch section of PCRAM-chip from impact of larger heat energy and carrier, on the other hand the invention decreases the direct contact area between the phase-change material and bottom electrode, and also obtains good insulation effect, and the dielectric layer and small phase-change region can enclose cover the bottom electrode, and implements the rest process easily, and the interface of top electrode and the phase-change material also can use the same design method of cylinder-shaped, thus symmetric up and lower structure and electrode causes electric field uniform, then the uniform electric field causes thermal field uniform, the uniform thermal field is in favor of implementing low-voltage, low-power and high-speed storage, and considers integration with the CMOS technology.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to an improvement of the structure of a phase-change memory unit. Through the improved structure, the heating efficiency of the device can be improved and the power consumption of the device can be reduced. It belongs to the technical field of micro-nano electronics. Background technique

[0002] Phase change memory technology is based on Ovshinsky's proposal in the late 1960s (Phys. Rev. Lett., 21, 1450-1453, 1968) and early 1970s (Appl. Phys. Lett., 18, 254-257, 1971) The idea that the phase change film can be applied to the phase change storage medium is established, and it is a storage device with low price and stable performance. Phase-change memory can be made on a silicon wafer substrate, and its key materials are recordable phase-change films, heating electrode materials, heat-insulating materials, and lead-out electrode materials. Including how to reduce device material and so on. The basic principle of phase change me...
