Crosspoint structure semiconductor memory device, and manufacturing method thereof
View Patent ↗A crosspoint structure semiconductor memory device includes a plurality of upper electrode interconnectings extending in the same direction and a plurality of lower electrode interconnectings extending in a direction orthogonal to the extension direction of the upper electrode interconnectings. A storage material member that stores data is formed between the upper electrode interconnectings and the lower electrode interconnectings. At least either the upper electrode interconnectings or the lower electrode interconnectings are formed along sidewall surfaces of projections formed into stripes of an insulation film processed to have the projections.
1. A crosspoint structure semiconductor memory device comprising:
a plurality of upper electrode interconnectings extending in a first direction; and
a plurality of lower electrode interconnectings extending in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction of said upper electrode interconnectings, wherein
a storage material member that stores data is formed between said upper electrode interconnectings and said lower electrode interconnectings, and
at least one pair of said plurality of upper electrode interconnectings or at least one pair of said plurality of lower electrode interconnectings are formed along facing sidewall surfaces of adjacent projections formed into an insulation film processed to have projections, wherein facing sidewalls of the adjacent projections have first and second spaced apart electrode interconnectings formed on respective facing sidewall surfaces of said adjacent projections, and a top surface of each of said first and second spaced apart electrode interconnectings slope toward each other.
2. The crosspoint structure semiconductor memory device according to claim 1 , wherein
said storage material member exhibits a ferroelectric property.
3. The crosspoint structure semiconductor memory device according to claim 1 , wherein
said storage material member exhibits a ferromagnetic tunneling magnetoresistance effect.
4. The crosspoint structure semiconductor memory device according to claim 1 , wherein
said storage material member exhibits a colossal magnetoresistance effect.
5. The crosspoint structure semiconductor memory device according to claim 1 , wherein said projections formed in said insulation film are formed in a stripe pattern.
6. The crosspoint structure semiconductor memory device according to claim 1 , wherein two discrete lines of said upper electrode interconnectings or said lower electrode interconnectings are formed between the respective facing sidewall surfaces of said adjacent projections.
