Phase change memory device using PNP-BJT for preventing change in phase change layer composition and widening bit line sensing margin
Abstract:
A phase change memory device includes a semiconductor substrate having bar-shaped active regions which extend in a first direction; base regions and emitter regions alternately formed in each active region; lower electrodes formed over the emitter regions to connect to the respective emitter regions; a phase change layer and an upper electrode stacked on each of the lower electrodes; sub bit lines formed over the upper electrodes to come into contact with the corresponding upper electrodes; word lines arranged over the sub bit lines to come into contact with the base regions; and a main bit line formed over the word line to come into contact with the sub bit lines. The phase change memory device is able to prevent a change in the composition of the phase change layer and additionally is able to widen the sensing margin of a bit line.
