CHALCOGENIDE MEMORY DEVICE COMPOSITIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240292766 titled 'CHALCOGENIDE MEMORY DEVICE COMPOSITIONS

The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for chalcogenide memory device compositions, where a memory cell can utilize a chalcogenide material with specific compositions as storage materials, selector materials, or self-selecting storage materials. The chalcogenide material may contain a sulfurous component, which could be sulfur alone or a combination of sulfur and other elements like selenium. Additionally, the chalcogenide material may include other elements such as germanium, at least one group-III element, or arsenic.

  • Chalcogenide memory device compositions are described in the patent application.
  • The chalcogenide material can be used as storage materials, selector materials, or self-selecting storage materials in memory cells.
  • The chalcogenide material may contain a sulfurous component, which could be sulfur alone or in combination with other elements like selenium.
  • Other elements such as germanium, at least one group-III element, or arsenic may also be present in the chalcogenide material.
