Abstract
Memory devices and methods for fabricating memory devices have been disclosed. One such method includes forming a memory stack out of a plurality of elements. A sidewall liner is formed on a sidewall of the memory stack using a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process, including an adhesion species and a dielectric, such that the adhesion species intermixes with an element of the memory stack to terminate unsatisfied atomic bonds of the element and the dielectric forms a dielectric film with the adhesive species on the sidewall.
