Abstract

A phase change material including a high adhesion phase change material formed on a dielectric material and a low adhesion phase change material formed on the high adhesion phase change material. The high adhesion phase change material includes a greater amount of at least one of nitrogen and oxygen than the low adhesion phase change material. The phase change material is produced by forming a first chalcogenide compound material including an amount of at least one of nitrogen and oxygen on the dielectric material and forming a second chalcogenide compound including a lower percentage of at least one of nitrogen and oxygen on the first chalcogenide compound material. A phase change random access memory device, and a semiconductor structure are also disclosed.
