Abstract:
1. A memory cell, comprising: first and second electrodes; programmable material and current conductive material between the first and second electrodes and which are in series with each other and the first and second electrodes, the programmable material being laterally proximate the first electrode for predominant current flow into or out of the first electrode in a horizontal direction, the current conductive material being elevationally under the second electrode for predominant current flow into or out of the second electrode in a vertical direction; and the programmable material having a side surface, an elevationally outermost surface, and an elevationally innermost surface; the first electrode being elevationally over the elevationally outermost surface of the programmable material, the first electrode being elevationally under the elevationally innermost surface of the programmable material, and the first electrode being laterally over the side surface of the programmable material.
