Definitions
- the present invention relates to a manufacturing method for a PCM memory element and a corresponding PCM memory element.
- the conversion from the amorphous phase to the crystalline phase requires a heat pulse with a temperature higher than the glass transition temperature but lower than the melting temperature, whereas the conversion from the crystalline phase to the amorphous phase requires a heat pulse with a temperature higher than the melting temperature followed by rapid cooling required.
- PCM phase change memory
- the lower electrodes of two PCM memory cells are finished in the same hole 5a or 5b.
- the structuring takes place perpendicular to the direction of the metal strips Ma, Mb and in such a way that the holes 5a, 5b are approximately half covered.
- a liner layer made of TEOS is then deposited over the structured auxiliary layer 45 and subjected to a spacer etching, so that spacer strips above the holes 5a, 5b run essentially perpendicular to the metal interconnects 5a, 5b.
- This process step has the essential advantage that it creates sublithographic spacer strips 50, the size of which can be made significantly smaller than the lithographic resolution.
- the thickness of the TEOS layer is usually 40 nm.
- 10a, 10b show the final process steps for contacting the strips of layer 40, which act as the upper electrode.
- a silicon nitride liner layer 60 with a thickness of approximately 30 nm is deposited over the layer as an etching stop, and a further insulation layer 75 is then provided thereon.
- Contact plugs 70 are formed in the insulation layer 75 by a conventional contact hole technique.
- metallic connection strips 80 are provided over the resulting structure for connecting the contact plugs 70, which leads to the structure shown in FIGS. 10a, 10b.
- the initial state is the state shown in FIGS. 4a, 4b after the resistance material filling 20 has been severed on the walls of the holes 5a, 5b.
