Polysilicon diodes fabricated in standard CMOS logic processes can be used as program selectors for reversible resistive devices such as PCRAM, RRAM, CBRAM, or other memory cells. The reversible resistive devices have a reversible resistive element coupled to a diode. The diode can be constructed by P+/N+ implants on a polysilicon as a program selector. By applying a voltage or a current between a reversible resistive element and the N-terminal of a diode, the reversible resistive device can be programmed into different states based on magnitude, duration, voltage-limit, or current-limit in a reversible manner. On the polysilicon diode, the spacing and doping level of a gap between the P- and N-implants can be controlled for different breakdown voltages and leakage currents. The Silicide Block Layer (SBL) can be used to block silicide formation on the top of polysilicon to prevent shorting. |
