Abstract

Phase change memory devices may be fabricated by forming a first electrode on a substrate and forming a chalcogenide material on the first electrode. The chalcogenide material is plasma treated sufficiently to induce a plasma species throughout the chalcogenide material. A second electrode is formed on the chalcogenide material. Related devices are also described.
