Patents by Inventor Ombretta Donghi

Ombretta Donghi has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10910437
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a memory device is disclosed. In one aspect, the method comprises patterning a first conductive line extending in a first direction. The method additionally includes forming a free-standing pillar of a memory cell stack on the first conductive line after patterning the first conductive line. Forming the free-standing pillar includes depositing a memory cell stack comprising a selector material and a storage material over the conductive line and patterning the memory cell stack to form the free-standing pillar. The method further includes patterning a second conductive line on the pillar after patterning the memory cell stack, the second conductive line extending in a second direction crossing the first direction.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 23, 2019
    Date of Patent: February 2, 2021
    Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.
