A method is provided for fabricating a microelectronic device with programmable memory that includes: i) depositing an intermediate layer of a material having a chalcogenide on a first electrode; ii) irradiating the intermediate layer of step i with ultraviolet radiation; iii) depositing an ionizable metallic layer on the intermediate layer obtained in step ii; iv) diffusing the metal ions originating from the ionizable metallic layer of step iii into the intermediate layer to form a chalcogenide material containing metal ions; and v) depositing a second electrode on the layer of chalcogenide material containing metal ions obtained in step iv to form the microelectronic device.

Method of fabricating a microelectronic device with programmable memory

A method of fabricating a programmable memory microelectronic device includes depositing onto a first electrode an intermediate layer of a material having a chalcogenide; depositing an ionizable metallic layer on the intermediate layer; irradiating with ultraviolet radiation the ionizable metallic layer so that metallic ions from the ionizable metallic layer diffuse into the intermediate layer to form a chalcogenide material containing metallic ions, and depositing a second electrode on the layer of chalcogenide material containing metallic ions obtained in the prior step. The second and third steps are repeated at least n times, where n is an integer greater than or equal to 1. The ionizable metallic layer deposited during the second step has a sufficiently small thickness that the metallic ions may be diffused totally during the irradiation (third) step.
