Abstract
A memory cell includes pair of metal layers, insulating layer, memory layer, selector layer, and word line. The pair of metal layers extends in a first direction. A first metal layer of the pair is disposed in contact with a second metal layer of the pair. The first metal layer includes a first material. The second metal layer includes a second material. The second metal layer laterally protrudes with respect to the first metal layer along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The insulating layer extends in the first direction and is disposed on top of the pair. The memory layer conformally covers sides of the pair. The selector layer is disposed on the memory layer. The word line extends along the second direction on the selector layer over the pair.
