Abstract
A data storage structure may include a lower electrode, a dielectric layer on the lower electrode, and an upper electrode on the dielectric layer. The dielectric layer may include a metal compound having a crystalline phase and including a first metal. The dielectric layer also may include a phase control material located in an interfacial region of the dielectric layer, adjacent to the upper electrode. The phase control material may include at least one of a second metal and a metal nitride. The second metal may be configured to induce a phase change in the metal compound of the dielectric layer. The metal nitride may include the second metal.
