Vertical resistive memory device with embedded selectors

Abstract:

A vertical resistive switching memory device is provided that includes a resistive random access memory (ReRAM) stack embedded in a material stack of alternating layers of an interlayer dielectric material and a recessed electrode material. A selector device encapsulates a portion of the ReRAM stack and is present in an undercut region that is laterally adjacent to each of the recessed electrode material layers of the material stack.
