Abstract

A phase change memory device and a method for manufacturing the same. The method includes the steps of defining bottom electrode contact holes by removing portions of an insulation layer, to expose bottom electrodes, on a semiconductor substrate on which the bottom electrodes and the insulation layer are sequentially formed; forming amorphous silicon spacers on inner sidewalls of the bottom electrode contact holes; and forming bottom electrode contacts in the bottom electrode contact holes.
