(1-1.記憶装置の構成)
図1は、本開示の第1の実施の形態に係る記憶装置(メモリセルアレイ1)の構成を模式的に表したものである。このメモリセルアレイ1は、例えば図11に示した、所謂クロスポイント型の記憶装置(メモリセルアレイ6)の構成の一部であり、一の方向(例えばZ軸方向)に延伸する複数の第1の配線層(配線層12(12A,12B))と、他の方向(例えばY方向)に延伸する第2の配線層(配線層16)とが対向領域(即ち、配線層12と配線層16との交点)にそれぞれメモリセル10(10A,10B)が設けられたものである。本実施の形態では、メモリセル10は、例えば配線層12側から選択素子層13、中間電極層14および記憶素子層15がこの順に積層されており、これら各層13,14,15が配線層16と同一方向に延伸した構成を有する。
以下に、メモリセルアレイ1の動作について説明すると共に、本実施の形態の中間電極層14による効果について説明する。図6は、メモリセルアレイ1の等価回路図を簡易的に表したものである。図6では、配線層12Aと配線層16の交点における選択素子層13の抵抗をRs1、中間電極層14の抵抗をR1、記憶素子層15の抵抗をRm1とし、配線層12Bと配線層16の交点における選択素子層13の抵抗をRs2、中間電極層14の抵抗をR2、記憶素子層15の抵抗をRm2として表している。また、配線層12Aをワード線WL1、配線層12Bをワード線WL2、配線層16をピラー線PL1とし、Rs1とR1との接点をN1、Rs2とR2との接点をN2とする。また、メモリセル10Aをcell1、メモリセル10Bをcell2とする。
前述したように、メモリやストレージの大容量化および高速化を実現する手段として、メモリ素子と選択素子とを組み合わせたクロスポイント型メモリが提案されている。クロスポイント型メモリは、一の方向および他の方向に延伸する複数の配線層をそれぞれ有し、それらが互いに交差する配線間に、メモリ素子と選択素子とが直列に接続されたメモリセルが配置された構成を有する。このため、1つの配線層は複数のメモリセルによって共有されている。
図8は、本開示の第2の実施の形態に係る記憶装置(メモリセルアレイ4)の構成を模式的に表したものである。このメモリセルアレイ4は、上記第1の実施の形態におけるメモリセルアレイ1等と同様に、例えば、図11に示した、所謂クロスポイント型の記憶装置(メモリセルアレイ6)の構成の一部であり、一の方向(例えばZ軸方向)に延伸する複数の第1の配線層(配線層12(12A,12B))と、他の方向(例えばY方向)に延伸する第2の配線層(配線層16)とが交差する対向領域にそれぞれメモリセル40(40A,40B)が設けられたものである。本実施の形態では、配線層12Aと配線層16との対向領域に設けられたメモリセル40における中間電極層44の膜厚方向(X軸方向)の電気抵抗(例えば、メモリセル40Aにおける電気抵抗R1)が、隣接する非対向領域(例えば、メモリセル40Aとメモリセル40Bとの間)における中間電極層44の電気抵抗R12よりも低い構成を有する。
図9は、本開示の第3の実施の形態に係る記憶装置(メモリセルアレイ5)の構成を模式的に表したものである。このメモリセルアレイ5は、上記第1の実施の形態におけるメモリセルアレイ1等と同様に、例えば、図11に示した、所謂クロスポイント型の記憶装置(メモリセルアレイ6)の構成の一部であり、一の方向(例えばZ軸方向)に延伸する複数の第1の配線層(配線層12(12A,12B))と、他の方向(例えばY方向)に延伸する第2の配線層(配線層16)とが交差する対向領域にそれぞれメモリセル50(50A,50B)が設けられたものである。本実施の形態では、配線層12Aと配線層16との対向領域に設けられたメモリセル50(例えば、メモリセル50A)における選択素子層53の膜厚方向(X軸方向)の電気抵抗Rs1が、隣接する非対向領域(例えば、メモリセル50Aとメモリセル50Bとの間)における選択素子層53の電気抵抗Rs12よりも低い構成を有する。
(変形例1)
図11は、本開示の変形例1に係る記憶装置(メモリセルアレイ6)の構成の一例を模式的に表したものである。このメモリセルアレイ6は、例えば、図3に示したメモリセルアレイ1を拡張したものであり、複数の配線層62(62A,62B,62C,62D)および複数の配線層66(66A,66B,66C,66D)を有し、各配線層66A,66B,66C,66Dに沿って、選択素子層63、中間電極層64および記憶素子層65が連続膜として形成されたものである。このメモリセルアレイ6では、選択素子層63、中間電極層64および記憶素子層65は、各配線層62A,62B,62C,62Dによって共有されている。即ち、メモリセルアレイ6は、例えばZ軸方向に延伸する複数の配線層62(62A,62B,62C,62D)と、例えばZ軸方向に延伸する複数の配線層66(66A,66B,66C,66D)とが互いに対向する位置(クロスポイント)にそれぞれメモリセル10を有するクロスポイント型のメモリセルアレイであり、本開示の記憶装置の一具体例に相当するものである。
図12は、本開示の変形例2に係る記憶装置(メモリセルアレイ7)の構成を模式的に表したものである。このメモリセルアレイ7は、例えば、Z軸方向に延伸する複数の配線層72(配線層72A1と配線層72A2、配線層72B1と配線層72B2)およびY軸方向に延伸する複数の配線層76(配線層76A1と配線層76A2、配線層76B1と配線層76B2)が、それぞれX軸方向に積層された3次元構造を有するものである。このメモリセルアレイ7では、配線層76の両側に、記憶素子層75、中間電極層74および選択素子層73がこの順に積層された構成となっている。
図13は、本開示の変形例3に係る記憶装置(メモリセルアレイ8)の構成を模式的に表したものである。このメモリセルアレイ8は、例えば、上記変形例2におけるメモリセルアレイ7と同様に、Z軸方向に延伸する複数の配線層82(配線層82A1と配線層82A2、配線層82B1と配線層82B2)およびY軸方向に延伸する複数の配線層86(配線層86A1と配線層86A2、配線層86B1と配線層86B2)が、それぞれX軸方向に積層された3次元構造を有するものである。このメモリセルアレイ8では、配線層86の側面全体が記憶素子層85、中間電極層84および選択素子層83の順に覆われた構成となっている。即ち、配線層86を中心に、中間電極層84および選択素子層83がこの順に同心状に積層された構成を有する。
