Abstract
A method for manufacturing a phase-change memory device includes providing a substrate including a plurality of bottom electrodes, patterning the substrate to form a plurality of pores in the substrate extending from a surface of the substrate to the bottom electrodes, depositing a phase-change material over the substrate, implanting one or more of a Ge, Sb and Te in the phase-change material to amorphize at least a portion of the phase-change material inside the pore, planarizing the device to exposed the surface of the substrate, and forming a plurality of top electrodes over the pores, in contact with the phase-change material.
