Abstract

In a memory device, at least one conductive contact having a width of less than, or equal to, about 30 nm may be formed on a first electrode. A dielectric layer may be formed on the sides of the at least one conductive contact, and a phase change material film may be formed on the conductive contact. A second electrode may be formed on the phase change material.
