The subject invention provides systems and methodologies for fabrication of memory and/or selection (e.g., diodes) elements in a recession in a semiconductor layer. In particular, a trench of varying width is created in the semiconductor layer by employing various etching techniques. A metal film can be deposited in the trench according to a desired deposition thickness in order to seam close a narrow portion of the trench while form a dimple in a wide portion of the trench. The trench, after metal film deposition, exhibits a depression in wider trench portions relative to narrow trench portions. The depression can be utilized by placing one or more memory or selection layers in the depression, and a via can be formed over a portion of the trench to form an interconnect.
