Abstract:
A phase-change memory includes a strip of phase-change material that is coated with a conductive strip and surrounded by an insulator. The strip of phase-change material has a lower face in contact with tips of a resistive element. A connection network composed of several levels of metallization coupled with one another by conducting vias is provided above the conductive strip. At least one element of a lower level of the metallization is in direct contact with the upper surface of the conductive strip.

Claim (Index 4):
A phase-change memory, comprising:\n a strip of phase-change material; a metal conductive strip on a top surface of the strip of phase-change material; a first insulating layer laterally surrounding the metal conductive strip and the strip of phase-change material; an etch stop layer above the metal conductive strip and the first insulating layer; wherein the etch stop layer includes an opening extending through the etch stop layer to a top surface of the metal conductive strip; and a metal connection structure filling said opening.
