Description

A kind of quick erasable method of operating of phase change memory
Technical field
The invention belongs to micro-nano electronic technology field, relate to a kind of programming technique of information-storing device, particularly relate to a kind of quick erasable method of operating of phase change memory and the quick erasable method of operating of phase change memory circuitry.
Background technology
Phase transition storage (Phase Change Memory) is as the nonvolatile memory of a new generation, be based on Ovshinsky at late 1960s (Phys. Rev. Lett., 21,1450~1453,1968) beginning of the seventies (Appl. Phys. Lett., 18,254~257,1971) phase-change thin film that proposes can be applied to that the conception of phase change memory medium sets up, and is the memory device of a kind of low price, stable performance.Phase transition storage can be made on the silicon wafer substrate, and its critical material is recordable phase-change thin film, heating resistor material, thermal insulation material and extraction electrode material.
Phase transition storage is made of memory cell array and external drive circuit, and each storage unit has some phase-change materials and stores data.Such as sulfur series compound phase-change material (for example depend on, GeTeAsSi, GeTe, GeSbTe(GST), GeTeBi, GeSbAg etc.), the material of this class can be between crystalline phase and amorphous phase stably reversibly changes, and Typical Representative material wherein is the synthetic material (GST) of a kind of germanic, antimony, tellurium.Phase-change material is attached in the circuit, can be so that described storage unit plays the effect of the programmable resistance of quick conversion.Crystalline state (low-resistance rate) and the resistivity dynamic range between the amorphous state (high resistant rate) that this programmable resistance can present than 40 times are also wanted large dynamic range, and can present many storages are carried out in permission in each storage unit intermediate state.Being stored in data communication device in the storage unit crosses measuring unit resistivity and reads.
The crystalline phase of material is by providing energy to change, and the crystalline phase variation of material is decided by the accumulation of energy and two factors of speed of cooling.After material melts, cool off rapidly and can change material into amorphous state by crystalline state, and in the situation that annealing, material can be converted into crystalline state by amorphous state, can realize two value records according to this reversible transformational relation.The conventional art of phase-change memory cell programming is: apply height potential pulse or the current pulse signal different with width at phase-change memory cell and make phase-change material reversible transition occur to change its resistance sizes between amorphous state and polycrystalline attitude, low-resistance when the high resistant during by the resolution amorphous state and polycrystalline attitude can realize writing, wipe and read operation of information.Fig. 1 has shown the conventional sequence of pulses that phase transition storage is programmed.Realize that low-resistance arrives the variation of high resistant, it is write operation, need to apply a RESET rect.p. that amplitude is higher and the time is shorter, so that the rapid exceeded threshold switch of the phase-change material in the storage unit, material temperature is elevated to more than the temperature of fusion, removes fast subsequently pulse signal, material is cooled off rapidly, the long-range order of polycrystalline is destroyed, thereby realized by the conversion of polycrystalline to amorphous, make material remain on amorphous state.Realize that high resistant arrives the variation of low-resistance, namely wipe operation, need to apply a SET rect.p. that amplitude is medium and the time is long, the temperature of chalcogenide compound is elevated to below the above temperature of fusion of Tc, keep the regular hour, so that phase-change memory cell begins nucleus growth after the condition greater than switching threshold, remove pulse after, resistance keeps low resistance state.The amplitude of SET operation is converted to amorphous state less than the amplitude of RESET operation to prevent phase-change memory cell.In general, owing to being subject to manufacturing process, the impact of the factors such as environment temperature and the initial resistance of phase-change memory cell, the current flow heats time that phase-change memory cell write operation (RESET) in the phase transition storage is needed tens nanoseconds to hundreds of nanosecond, and being wiped operation (SET), the phase-change memory cell in the phase transition storage need hundreds of nanosecond to arrive several milliseconds current flow heats time.Because the SET programming is far longer than the RESET programming time, so the program speed of phase transition storage is mainly determined by the SET programming time.Reduce the SET programming time significant to improving phase transition storage speed.
Because the actual temperature of the phase-change material in the phase-change memory cell can be variant between unit, the material that this species diversity can be not intended in one or more unit of chien shih device reaches temperature of fusion T when adding traditional SET pulse mThereby, cause these unit to remain on high-impedance state.For avoiding this problem, traditional programming technique uses the less SET pulse of amplitude to wipe operation, adds when putting phase-change memory cell in the SET pulse guaranteeing, phase-change material does not reach temperature of fusion T mThis method so that the SET running time be far longer than the RESET running time.In addition, can have the unit that stable state significantly is lower than optimum temperature in the storage unit, this has just reduced SET and RESET distribution of resistance scope in the storage unit.
Because there is the OTS effect in phase change resistor, when voltage is added in phase-change memory cell, when voltage is higher than certain switching threshold, the resistivity of phase-change memory cell can descend suddenly, but this moment, phase change resistor did not have by actual program, if remove voltage, phase change resistor can come back to original resistance.Phase-change memory cell need at first surmount the switching threshold of material the process that changes from high-impedance state to low resistance state, enter programmed state.Traditional SET operation is to apply rectangular pulse signal than low amplitude to phase-change memory cell, need the long period just can enter and reach the energy that surmounts switching threshold, this part time and the crystallization sensitive time addition that enters after the programmed state, consisted of SET and wiped the All Time of operation.Obviously, this pulse signal than low amplitude has slowed down phase-change memory cell and has entered the time of programmed state.

Embodiment
Below by specific instantiation explanation embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art can understand other advantages of the present invention and effect easily by the disclosed content of this instructions.The present invention can also be implemented or be used by other different embodiment, and the every details in this instructions also can be based on different viewpoints and application, carries out various modifications or change under the spirit of the present invention not deviating from.
Because there is the OTS effect in phase change resistor, when pulse is added in the phase change resistor unit, when voltage is higher than certain switching threshold, the resistivity of phase change resistor unit can descend suddenly, but this moment, phase change resistor did not have by actual program, if remove voltage, phase change resistor can come back to original resistance, pulse operation after exceeded threshold voltage is only real programming pulse, and we will be called for the pulse of exceeded threshold the pre-programmed pulse.
Can be divided into two parts, pre-programmed pulse and programming pulse for the SET pulse of phase transition storage being wiped operation.At first be to apply a pre-programmed pulse: its pulse height and RESET pulse height quite and the retention time be about for tens nanoseconds, less than the RESET running time, so that the phase-change material in the device cell can surmount rapidly switching threshold in a short time, enter programmed state.Be programming pulse with the SET pulse transition then: its amplitude is lower, and keeps certain hour, makes device cell reach Tc T OptNear temperature, and preferably crystallization during this period of time occurs, phase change cells changes low resistance state into.
We know, the key character of RESET write operation is to apply a high-amplitude pulse signal, storage medium at first reaches and surmounts switching threshold, enter after the RESET programmed state, remove rapidly pulse signal and storage unit can be remained on amorphous state, shown in RESET programming pulse among Fig. 1.So the initial amplitude of SET pulse is during greater than traditional SET pulse, storer can reach temperature T mOn, surmount switching threshold, enter programmed state, but because SET pulse retention time of this high-amplitude only is equivalent to the time that phase change cells surmounts switching threshold, and its follow-up pulse height decays to low pulse height, so that phase-change material temperature is reduced to Tc T OptNear, directly enter the SET programming state.

As another kind of preferred version of the present invention, described SET programming pulse is comprised of pre-programmed pulse and the programming pulse with negative edge of variable slope, as shown in Figure 3.After applying the pre-programmed pulse, phase change cells surmounts switching threshold fast, enter programmed state, applying the programming pulse that negative edge has variable slope can be so that the Tc variation range of storage unit increases, and current amplitude can produce Tc T in phase change cells as much as possible Opt, in order to distribute for these unit provide optimum SET operation resistance.Wherein, rear slope rate of decay along part can comprise, polynomial expression, and to numerical expression, exponential form etc.
The speed of current phase transition storage write operation (being the RESET programming process) is about arriving tens nanoseconds in the hundreds of nano-seconds, and the speed of wiping operation (being the SET programming process) is about the millisecond magnitude, RESET and SET programming process all need at first to surmount the switching threshold of phase-change memory cell, enter programming state again.If can in the SET programming process, make rapidly phase-change memory cell surmount its switching threshold, can promote and wipe the running time, will significantly promote the program speed of phase transition storage.
In one embodiment, be divided into two parts, pre-programmed pulse and programming pulse for the SET pulse of phase transition storage being wiped operation.At first be to apply a pre-programmed pulse: its pulse height is suitable with the RESET pulse height, and pulsewidth is about between 10ns ~ 100ns, about preferred 30ns, less than the RESET running time, so that the phase-change material in the storage unit can surmount rapidly switching threshold in a short time, enter programmed state.Be programming pulse with the SET pulse transition then: its amplitude is lower, and keeps certain hour, makes storage unit reach near the temperature of Tc Topt, and preferably crystallization during this period of time occurs, and phase-change memory cell changes low resistance state into.
