Abstract
Memory cells, and methods of forming such memory cells, are provided that include a carbon-based reversible resistivity switching material. In particular embodiments, methods in accordance with this invention form a memory cell by forming a carbon-based reversible resistance-switching material above a substrate, forming a carbon nitride layer above the carbon-based reversible resistance-switching material, and forming a barrier material above the carbon nitride layer using an atomic layer deposition process. Other aspects are also provided.
