INTEGRATED CIRCUIT 3D PHASE CHANGE MEMORY ARRAY AND MANUFACTURING METHOD

摘要

A 3D phase change memory device is based on an array of electrode pillars and a plurality of electrode planes that intersect the electrode pillars at interface regions that include memory elements that comprise a programmable phase change memory element and a threshold switching element. The electrode pillars can be selected using two-dimensional decoding, and the plurality of electrode planes can be selected using decoding on a third dimension.
