Abstract:

The phase transition of germanium antimony tellurium (GST) and the temperature of GST were investigated using COMSOL Multiphysic 5.0 software. Silicon carbide was using as a heater layer in the separate heater structure of PCM. These simulations have a different channel of SiC. The temperature of GST and the phase transition of GST can be obtained from the simulation. From the simulation, the 300 nm channel of SiC can change the GST from amorphous to crystalline state at 0.7V with 100 ns pulse width. The 800 nm channel of SiC can change the GST from amorphous to crystalline state at 1.1V with

Abstract:

Ge-Sb-Te-based phase change memory alloys have recently attracted a lot of attention due to their promising applications in the fields of photonics, non-volatile data storage, and neuromorphic computing. Of particular interest is the understanding of the structural changes and underlying mechanisms induced by short optical pulses. This work reports on structural changes induced by single nanosecond UV laser pulses in amorphous and epitaxial Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) thin films. The phase changes within the thin films are studied by a combined approach using X-ray diffraction and transmission electron mi

Abstract:

One of the key challenges of phase change memory (PCM) is its high power consumption during the reset operation, when the phase change material (typically Ge2Sb2Te5, i.e., GST) heats up to ∼900 K or more in order to melt. Here, we study the temperature-dependent behavior of PCM devices by probing the reset power at ambient temperatures from 80 to 400 K. We find that different device structures exhibit contrasting temperature-dependent behavior. The reset power in our confined-type PCM is nearly unchanged with ambient temperature, corresponding to a temperature-dependent thermal resistance, whe

Abstract:

Thermal stress model considering the effect of phase transformation is proposed for Phase-Change Random Access Memory (PRAM). The results of simulation show that the high level of stress is generated on the junction where Ge2Sb2Te5(GST), TiN and SiO2 meet together. The high level of stress can also be observed in the interface between TiN and SiO2. From simulation results, it can be predictable that delamination between GST and TiN can occur during operation of PRAM. It is expected that the simulation model, which has been developed in this research, is very useful tool for PRAM device design.

Integration of metamaterial and nonvolatile memory devices with tunable characteristics is an enthusing area of research.

Abstract:

Memory cells comprising a Phase Change Material (PCM) are the building blocks of fast and non-volatile memory devices called Phase Change Random Access Memory (PCRAM) [1-3]. The working principle of this memory involves data retention in the form of a phase (amorphous or crystalline) and the set and reset can be done by Joule heating to induce an amorphous-to-crystalline or crystalline-to-amorphous transition respectively. Some chalcogenide materials experience this thermally driven phase change, GeSbTe (GST) being one of those alloys extensively studied. GST has also been adopted for the fabr

Abstract:

Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) has been widely studied for PRAM as reversible phase change material. GST is expected to reduce RESET (crystalline → amorphous) operation power, which is one of important issues for PRAM technology. In order to investigate the effect of nitrogen doping on electrical switching characteristics, we fabricated two kinds of PRAM cells with nitrogen-doped (N-doped) and un-doped GST, which were different bottom electrode contact size (0.80~1.00 ). N-doped GST PRAM cells have higher dynamic resistance with small sized bottom electrode contact and lower RESET voltage (about 1.2 V, 50 ns

Abstract:

Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) films of 7 nm thickness in the multilayer structure of [GST 7 nm/W 6 nm]20 have been fabricated, and their crystallization kinetics is studied via ultrafast differential scanning calorimetry and a generalized Mauro–Yue–Ellison–Gupta–Allan viscosity model. A distinct fragile-to-strong crossover (FSC) transition behavior, which is beneficial to balance the contradiction between good thermal stability nearby glass transition temperature Tg and fast crystal crystallization speed around melting temperature, is found in this 2D confined GST ultrathin film with the FSC transition temp

Abstract:

Among the phase change materials, Ge2Sb2Te5 is considered the reference material for phase change memories [1]. However, it has a low crystallization temperature close to 150°C, which makes it unsuitable for applications where high thermal stability is required. To meet more stringent requirements of dedicated applications such as automotive, solutions to increase the crystallization temperature have been explored, such as Ge enrichment [2], light element doping or exploration of new compounds. In this work, we demonstrate the possibility of controlling the stoichiometry of the segregated GeSb

Abstract The amorphous to crystalline phase transition in Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) phase change material is investigated using XRD and the systematic variation in the optical band-gap (Eg ) and structural disorder (B 1/2) employing UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy. The amorphous phase is observed to have Eg value of 0.708 eV while crystalline phase (200 °C) shows 0.442 eV. Variation in B 1/2 slope of 13.4 % is noted around the crystallization temperature (150 °C), depicting structural disorder reduction and hence structural ordering in the material forming the cubic phase.

This paper describes structure evaluation of GexSbyTez (GST) film fabricated by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). We successfully established composition controlled GST CVD with smooth surface by applying appropriate deposition conditions. By increasing Ge flow rate or reducing substrate temperature, the average grain size was reduced and the film flatness was improved. As the results, we succeeded to obtain the extremely smooth surface, and also to fill a finite hole with conformal film deposition. All GexSbyTez films showed FCC or amorphous crystalline structures, both are utilized in the pro

In contrast with their widespread use, however, the details of the crystalline to amorphous switching process utilized for memory storage remain an active research topic with many details still lacking.

AbstractPhase change memory (PCM) is among the most promising candidates for the next generation of storage‐class and main memory systems in the computing era beyond Moore's law. However, the widespread installment of PCM devices is limited by the high price‐per‐bit and complex fabrication process. In this paper, it is shown that functional PCM memory devices can be printed, proving low‐cost avenues for non‐silicon memory technologies. Taking Ge‐Sb‐Te (GST) as a case study, PCM inks are prepared and optimize their structural, rheological, and printing parameters. GST layers are then printed on

The development of Ge-rich GeSbTe (GGST) alloys significantly enhanced the high-temperature stability required for Phase-Change Memory technology. Previous studies on Ge enrichment in GeSbTe (GST) materials with Sb-over-Te ratio lower than one (Sb/Te&lt;1) highlighted the segregation into cubic Ge and cubic GST phases. Such a segregated cubic GST phase is metastable and presents a polycrystalline structure with disordered grain boundaries that could lead to structural relaxation and then to drift phenomena.

Research works on phase change random access memory (PCRAM) based on Ge–Sb–Te (GST) phase change materials have achieved exciting progress, but the industrialization of PCRAM still faces big challenges, including unsatisfied endurance property or unexpected cell structure failure during fabrication. Here, we investigate the impact of the thermal budget in back-end-of-line (BEOL) process on the microstructure evolution of carbon doped GST (CGST) cells. We demonstrate that the as-deposited amorphous CGST in the confined memory cell will transform to face centered-cubic (FCC) phase with uniform g
