Abstract
A Phase-change-memory (PCM) cell and method of forming the PCM are provided. In an illustrative embodiment, a method of forming a PCM cell includes forming a first layer of a first germanium-antimony-tellurium (GST) type material over at least a portion of the bottom and sides of a pore through a dielectric layer of low dielectric material to a bottom electrode. The method also includes forming a second layer of a second GST type material over the first GST type material along the bottom and sides of the pore over the bottom electrode. The first GST type material is different from the second GST type material.
