Abstract
A method is presented for integrating an electronic component in back end of the line (BEOL) processing. The method includes forming a first electrode over a semiconductor substrate, forming a first electrically conductive material over a portion of the first electrode, forming a second electrically conductive material over the first electrically conductive material, where the first and second electrically conductive materials define a p-n junction, depositing a phase change material over the p-n junction, and forming a second electrode over the phase change material.
