METHOD OF FORMING A PHASE CHANGE MATERIAL LAYER PATTERN AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A PHASE CHANGE MEMORY DEVICE

摘要

A method of forming a phase change material layer pattern includes forming a phase change material layer partially filling an opening through an insulating interlayer. A plasma treatment process is performed on the phase change material layer to remove an oxide layer on a surface of the phase change material layer. A heat treatment process is performed on the phase change material layer to remove a void or a seam in the phase change material layer, sufficiently filling the opening.
