Modified contact for programmable devices

   
   

In an aspect, an apparatus is provided that sets and reprograms the state of programmable devices. In an aspect, a method is provided such that an opening is formed through a dielectric exposing a contact formed on a substrate. The resistivity of the contact is modified by at least one of implanting ions into the contact, depositing a material on the contact, and treating the contact with plasma. In an aspect, a spacer is formed within the opening and programmable material is formed within the opening and on the modified contact. A conductor is formed on the programmable material and the contact transmits to a signal line.
