Abstract:
A phase change memory (PCM) cell with enhanced thermal isolation and low power consumption is provided. In some embodiments, the PCM cell comprises a bottom electrode, a dielectric layer, a heating element, and a phase change element. The dielectric layer is on the bottom electrode. The heating element extends through the dielectric layer, from a top of the dielectric layer to the bottom electrode. Further, the heating element has a pair of opposite sidewalls laterally spaced from the dielectric layer by a cavity. The phase change element overlies and contacts the heating element. An interface between the phase change element and the heating element extends continuously respectively from and to the opposite sidewalls of the heating element. Also provided is a method for manufacturing the PCM cell.

Claim (Index 8):
The PCM cell according to  claim 1 , wherein the interface between the phase change element and the heating element is curved.
