Abstract
A non-volatile memory device includes a data storage structure coupled between first and second conductive lines of the memory device. The data storage structure includes a conductive lower heater element, a data storage pattern, and a conductive upper heater element sequentially stacked. At least one sidewall surface of the data storage pattern is coplanar with a sidewall surface of the upper heater element thereabove and a sidewall surface of the lower heater element therebelow. Related fabrication methods are also discussed.
