Abstract

See full text

A memory cell may include a first electrode, a second electrode, and a self-selecting storage element between the first electrode and the second electrode. A conductive path between the first electrode and the second electrode may extend in a direction away from a plane defined by a substrate. The self-selecting storage element may include a bulk region and a sidewall region. The bulk region may include a chalcogenide material having a first composition, and the sidewall region may include the chalcogenide material having a second composition that is different than the first composition. The bulk region and sidewall region may extend between the first electrode and the second electrode and in the direction away from the plane defined by the substrate.
