Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for a tapered cell profile and fabrication are described. A memory storage component may contain multiple chalcogenide materials and may include a tapered profile. For example, a first chalcogenide material may be coupled with a second chalcogenide material. Each of the chalcogenide materials may be further coupled with a conductive material (e.g., an electrode). Through an etching process, the chalcogenide materials may tapered (e.g., step tapered). A pulse may be applied to the tapered chalcogenide materials resulting in a memory storage component that includes a mixture of the chalcogenide materials.

Claim (Index 25):
A method for forming a storage component, comprising:\n forming a stack comprising a first conductive material, a second conductive material, a third conductive material, and a first chalcogenide material and a second chalcogenide material between the second conductive material and the third conductive material; removing material in a first direction to form a plurality of lines in the first conductive material, the second conductive material, the first chalcogenide material, the second chalcogenide material, and the third conductive material; depositing a liner in contact with at least one side of the third conductive material, the second chalcogenide material, and the first chalcogenide material; depositing a fourth conductive material; removing material in a second direction to form a plurality of pillars in the second conductive material, the first chalcogenide material, the second chalcogenide material, and the third conductive material, and the fourth conductive material wherein the storage component is formed based at least in part on removing the material to form the plurality of lines and removing the material to form the plurality of pillars.
