Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a process of forming a phase-change memory. A lower electrode is disposed in a first dielectric film. The lower electrode comprises an upper section and a lower section. The upper section extends beyond the first dielectric film. Resistivity in the upper section is higher than in the lower section. A second dielectric film is disposed over the first dielectric film and has an upper surface that is coplanar with the upper section at an upper surface.
