Abstract:
Two phase-change memory cells are formed from a first conductive via, a second conductive and a central conductive via positioned between the first and second conductive vias where a layer of phase-change material is electrically connected to the first and second conductive vias by corresponding resistive elements and insulated from the central conductive via by an insulating layer. The conductive vias each include a lower portion made of a first metal (such as tungsten) and an upper portion made of a second metal (such as copper). Drains of two transistors are coupled to the first and second conductive vias while sources of those two transistors are coupled to the central conductive via.

Claim (Index 6):
The method of  claim 5 , further comprising:\n forming a second dielectric layer over the first dielectric layer; etching a cavity in the second dielectric layer that at least partially exposes an upper end of the second metal material in each of the third and fourth openings; depositing a layer of resistive material in the cavity; and removing a portion of the layer of resistive material over the fourth opening so as to leave in place the layer of resistive material over the third opening to provide said resistive component.
