  • Publication number: 20210066590
    Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a method of forming an integrated chip that includes depositing a phase change material layer over a bottom electrode. The phase change material is configured to change its degree of crystallinity upon temperature changes. A top electrode layer is deposited over the phase change material layer, and a hard mask layer is deposited over the top electrode layer. The top electrode layer and the hard mask layer are patterned to remove outer portions of the top electrode layer and to expose outer portions of the phase change material layer. An isotropic etch is performed to remove portions of the phase change material layer that are uncovered by the top electrode layer and the hard mask layer. The isotropic etch removes the portions of the phase change material layer faster than portions of the top electrode layer and the hard mask layer.
