Abstract:
In some aspects, a method of forming a memory cell is provided that includes (1) forming a steering element above a substrate; and (2) selectively forming a reversible resistance-switching element coupled to the steering element by: (a) forming a material layer on the substrate; (b) etching the material layer; and (c) oxidizing the etched material layer to form a reversible resistance-switching material. Numerous other aspects are provided.
