Abstract
A variable resistance memory device that includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and a first chalcogenide material layer between the first and second electrodes, the chalcogenide layer including carbon incorporated into germanium selenide chalcogenide glass. The variable resistance memory device may include a second chalcogenide material layer between the first chalcogenide material layer and the second electrode. The variable resistance memory device may include a first metallic layer between the second chalcogenide material layer and the second electrode. The variable resistance memory device may include a third chalcogenide material layer between the first metallic layer and the second electrode. The variable resistance memory device may include a fourth chalcogenide material layer between the first chalcogenide material layer and the first electrode. The first chalcogenide layer may be formed by co-sputtering carbon with GeSe.
