Abstract:
The embodiments described herein facilitate performing bipolar switching of a confined phase change memory (PCM) with a metallic liner, wherein the phase change memory and the metallic liner are located between a first electrode and a second electrode of a semiconductor structure, wherein a first voltage is applied to the first electrode while the second electrode is grounded, and wherein a second voltage is applied to the second electrode while the first electrode is grounded. The bipolar switching can be performed so as to produce a plurality of resistance states. Thus, this confined PCM can be utilized as a multi-level cell (MLC) memory.

Claim (Index 6):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the applying the first voltage to the first electrode of the semiconductor structure comprising a phase change memory having the metallic liner comprises applying the first voltage to the first electrode of the semiconductor structure comprising the phase change memory having the metallic liner comprising metal nitride.
