Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Embodiments disclosed herein may relate to forming an interface between a selector transistor and a phase change material storage cell in a memory device.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: forming a phase change material on an emitter region of a selector transistor, the phase change material to be in substantially direct contact with the emitter region of the selector transistor, wherein an interface between the phase change material and the emitter region does not include a silicide. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interface has a higher resistance than a similar interface having a si…
