ABSTRACT:
A phase change memory may be formed in a pore of a semiconductor structure. A selected region of the pore may be processed so that breakdown in that region is either more or less likely. As a result, by reducing the variation in the location of breakdown from cell to cell and memory to memory, greater consistency can be achieved.
