Abstract
In fabrication of a phase change random access memory (PCRAM), a field effect transistor (FET) logic layer is formed on a first wafer, including a heating FET for each storage cell. The FET logic layer is transferred from the first wafer to a carrier wafer. Thereafter, a storage layer of the PCRAM is formed on the exposed surface of the FET logic layer, including a region of a phase change material for each storage cell that is electrically connected to a channel of the heating FET of the storage cell. The storage layer further includes a second heating transistor for each storage cell that is electrically connected to a channel of the second heating transistor.
