Popis: Phase change memory (PCM) could potentially achieve high density with large, 3Dstacked crosspoint arrays, but not without a BEOL-friendly access device (AD) that can provide high current densities and large ON/OFF ratios. We demonstrate a novel AD based on Cu-ion motion in novel Cu-containing Mixed Ionic Electronic Conduction (MIEC) materials[1, 2]. Experimental results on various device structures show that these ADs provide the ultra-high current densities needed for PCM, exhibit high ON/OFF ratios with excellent uniformity, are highly scalable, and are compatible with
