A method of forming a metal cap over a conductive interconnect in a chalcogenide-based memory device is provided and includes, forming a layer of a first conductive material over a substrate, depositing an insulating layer over the first conductive material and the substrate, forming an opening in the insulating layer to expose at least a portion of the first conductive material, depositing a second conductive material over the insulating layer and within the opening, removing portions of the second conductive material to form a conductive area within the opening, recessing the conductive area within the opening to a level below an upper surface of the insulating layer, forming a cap of a third conductive material over the recessed conductive area within the opening, depositing a stack of a chalcogenide based memory cell material over the cap, and depositing a conductive material over the chalcogenide stack.
