A storage cell, integrated circuit (IC) chip with one or more storage cells that may be in an array of the storage cells and a method of forming the storage cell and IC. Each storage cell includes a stylus, the tip of which is phase change material. The phase change tip may be sandwiched between an electrode and conductive material, e.g., titanium nitride (TiN), tantalum nitride (TaN) or n-type semiconductor. The phase change layer may be a chalcogenide and in particular a germanium (Ge), antimony (Sb), tellurium (Te) (GST) layer. |
