  • Publication number: 20220069211
    Abstract: A pillar-shaped structure and a line-shaped structure are described that include a supporting top conductive layer, an active material layer, such as a memory material or switching material, and a bottom conductive layer. The active material layer is more narrow than the supporting top conductive layer. A supporting side insulating layer is formed connecting the top and bottom conductive layers to provide structure stability. A void, or air gap, is formed between the active material layer and the supporting side insulating layer, which can provide improved thermal isolation between adjacent pillar-shaped or line-shaped structures.
