| 摘要 |
A phase change memory device having a bottleneck constriction and method of making same are presented. The phase change memory device includes a semiconductor substrate, a lower electrode, an interlayer film, an insulator, a phase change layer and an upper electrode. The interlayer film is formed on the semiconductor substrate having the lower electrode. The interlayer film includes a laminate of a first insulating film, a silicon film and a second insulating film with a hole formed therethrough. The insulator is disposed along the exposed surface of the silicon film around the inner circumference of the hole. The phase change layer is embedded within the hole having the insulator which constricts the shape of the phase change layer to a bottleneck constriction. A method of manufacturing the phase change memory device is also provided. |
