    Abstract: The phase change memory cell (5) is formed by a resistive element (22) and by a memory region (38) of a phase change material. The resistive element has a first thin portion having a first sublithographic dimension in a first direction (Y) ; and the memory region (38) has a second thin portion (38a) having a second sublithographic dimension in a second direction (X) transverse to the first dimension. The first thin portion (22) and the second thin portion (38a) are in direct electrical contact and define a contact area (58) of sublithographic extension. The second thin portion (38a) is delimited laterally by oxide spacer portions (55a) surrounded by a mold layer (49) which defines a lithographic opening (51). The spacer portions (55a) are formed after forming the lithographic opening, by a spacer formation technique.

    Abstract: The phase change memory cell (5) is formed by a resistive element (22) and by a memory region (38) of a phase change material. The resistive element has a first thin portion having a first sublithographic dimension in a first direction (Y); and the memory region (38) has a second thin portion (38a) having a second sublithographic dimension in a second direction (X) which is transverse to said first direction. The first and second thin portions (22, 38a) are in direct electrical contact and define a contact area (58) having sublithographic extent. The second thin portion (38a) is formed in a slit of sublithograhic dimensions. According to a first solution, oxide spacer portions (55a) are formed in a lithographic opening (51), delimited by a mold layer (49). According to a different solution, a sacrificial region is formed on top of a mold layer and is used for forming the sublithographic slit in the mold layer.
