Abstract: The invention provides a phase change memory device comprising a stacked structure disposed on a substrate. The stacked structure comprises a first electrode, a second electrode overlying the first electrode and an insulating layer interposed between the first and the second electrodes. A memory spacer is formed on part of the sidewall of the stacked structure to contact the first electrode, the insulating layer and the second electrode.

Abstract: A phase-change memory layer and method for manufacturing the same and a phase-change memory cell are provided. The phase-change memory layer is crystallized by adding one or more heterogeneous crystals that do not react with phase-change materials as the crystal nucleus, so as to reduce the time for transforming to the crystalline state from the amorphous state.

Abstract: A phase change memory device and fabricating method are provided. A disk-shaped phase change layer is buried within the insulating material. A center via and ring via are formed by a lithography. The center via is located in the center of the phase change layer and passes through the phase change layer, and the ring via takes the center via as a center. A heating electrode within the center via performs Joule heating of the phase change layer, and the contact area between the phase change layer and the heating electrode is reduced by controlling the thickness of the phase change layer. Furthermore, a second electrode within the ring via dissipates the heat transmitted to the contact interface between the phase change layers, so as to avoid transmitting the heat to the etching boundary at the periphery of the phase change layer.

Abstract: A phase change memory (PCM) cell and fabricating method thereof are provided. A phase change layer is etched into a tapered structure, and then a dielectric layer on the phase change layer is planarized, until a tip of the tapered structure is exposed for contacting a heating electrode. Therefore, when the area of the exposed tip of the phase change layer is controlled to be of an extremely small size, the contact area between the phase change layer and the heating electrode is reduced; thereby the operation current is lowered.

Abstract: A lateral phase change memory with spacer electrodes and method of manufacturing the same are provided. The memory is formed by connecting the conductive electrodes with lower resistivity and the spacer electrodes with higher resistivity, and filling the phase change material between the spacer electrodes. Therefore, the area that the phase change material contacts the spacer electrodes and the volume of the phase change material can be reduced; thereby the programming current and power consumption of the phase change memory are reduced.

Abstract: A structure of accumulated type trench MOSFET in silicon carbide(SiC) and forming method are disclosed. The MOSFET includes a trench gate having a gate oxide layer, a polysilicon layer, a source region, and a drain region. The source region contains a p+ heavily doped region, an n+ heavily doped region and a p-base region, and a source contact metal layer. The p+ heavily doped region the n+ heavily doped region and the p-base region are abutting each other. The former two are extended to the front surface of the silicon carbide substrate having the source contact metal layer formed over and the latter one is beneath them. Moreover, the p-base region is separated from the trench by an accumulation channel. The drain contact metal layer is formed on the rear surface of the silicon carbide substrate where the rear region of the silicon carbide is heavily doped than the front region thereof.
