Abstract

A method of manufacturing a phase-change random access memory device includes forming an interlayer insulating film on a semiconductor substrate, on which a bottom structure is formed, and patterning the interlayer insulating film to form a contact hole, forming a spacer on the side wall of the contact hole; forming a dielectric layer in the contact hole, and removing the spacer to form a bottom electrode contact hole. Therefore, the contact area between the bottom electrode contact and the phase-change material layer can be minimized.
