Abstract: A memory cell includes a selector, a fuse connected to the selector in series, a contact etch stop layer formed on the selector and the fuse, a bit line connected to the fuse, and a word line connected to the selector. The contact etch stop layer includes a high-k dielectric for improving the ability of capturing the electrons, thus the retention time of the memory cell is increased.
