Memory cells having increased structural stability

Abstract:

A memory cell can include a top lamina layer, a bottom lamina layer, and a phase change material (PCM) layer between the top lamina layer and the bottom lamina layer. The PCM layer can have a top surface in direct contact with the top lamina layer and a bottom surface in direct contact with the bottom lamina layer. The top surface of the PCM layer and the bottom surface of the PCM layer can have a structurally stabilizing width ratio.
