Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for composite electrode material chemistry are described. A memory device may include an access line, a storage element comprising chalcogenide, and an electrode coupled with the memory element and the access line. The electrode may be made of a composition of a first material doped with a second material. The second material may include a tantalum-carbon compound. In some cases, the second may be operable to be chemically inert with the storage element. The second material may include a thermally stable electrical resistivity and a lower resistance to signals communicated between the access line and the storage element across a range of operating temperatures of the storage element as compared with a resistance of the first material.
