Description

A kind of flash operational approach of phase change memory
Technical field
The invention belongs to micro-nano electronic technology field, relate to the programming technique of a kind of information storage unit, Particularly relate to the flash operational approach of a kind of phase change memory and phase change memory circuitry Flash operational approach.
Background technology
Phase transition storage (Phase Change Memory) as a new generation nonvolatile memory, Be based on Ovshinsky late 1960s (Phys. Rev. Lett., 21,14 50~1453,1968) beginning of the seventies (Appl. Phys. Lett., 18,254~257 , 1971) and the phase-change thin film that proposes can apply to what the conception of phase change memory medium was set up , it is the memory device of a kind of low price, stable performance.Phase transition storage can be made in silicon wafer On sheet substrate, its critical material is recordable phase-change thin film, heating resistance material, heat insulating material Material and extraction electrode material.
Phase transition storage is made up of with external drive circuit memory cell array, and each memory element has Some phase-change materials store data.Depend on such as that sulfur series compound phase-change material is (such as, GeTeAsSi, GeTe, GeSbTe(GST), GeTeBi, GeSbAg etc.), the material of this class Material the most reversibly can change between crystalline phase and amorphous phase, Typical Representative material therein For a kind of germanic, synthetic material (GST) of antimony, tellurium.Phase-change material is attached in circuit, So that described memory element plays the effect of the programmable resistance of rapid translating.This can Programming resistor can present the crystalline state (low-resistance rate) than 40 times and amorphous state (high resistant rate) Between resistivity dynamic range also want big dynamic range, and permission can be presented each Memory element carries out the intermediate state of many storages.Storage data in the memory unit are by surveying Amount cell resistance rate reads.
The crystalline phase of material is by providing energy to change, and the crystalline phase change of material is by the accumulation of energy With the speed two cooled down because usually determining.Cooling down rapidly after material melts can be by material It is changed into amorphous state by crystalline state, and in the case of annealing, material can be converted into crystalline substance by amorphous state State, can realize two-value record according to this reversible transformational relation.Phase-change memory cell programs Conventional art be: apply on phase-change memory cell the height potential pulse the most different with width or Current pulse signal makes phase-change material occur reversible transition to change between amorphous state and polycrystalline state Its resistance sizes, by low-resistance when high resistant during resolution amorphous state and polycrystalline state, it is possible to achieve The write of information, erasing and read operation.Fig. 1 shows the biography being programmed phase transition storage System pulse train.Low-resistance to be realized, to the change of high resistant, i.e. write operation, needs to apply a width Spend higher and that the time is shorter RESET rectangular pulse so that the phase-change material in memory element is rapid Exceeded threshold switchs, and material temperature is increased to more than fusion temperature, the most quickly removes pulse letter Number, material is cooled down rapidly, makes the long-range order of polycrystalline be destroyed, thus realize by polycrystalline To the conversion of amorphous, material is made to be maintained at amorphous state.High resistant to be realized is to the change of low-resistance, i.e. Wipe operation, need to apply a SET rectangular pulse that amplitude is medium and the time is longer, sulfur system chemical combination The temperature of thing is increased to crystallization temperature temperature melt above Below degree, keep the regular hour so that phase-change memory cell is in the condition more than switching threshold Starting nucleus growth afterwards, after removing pulse, resistance keeps low resistance state.The amplitude of SET operation is little In the amplitude of RESET operation, to prevent phase-change memory cell to be converted to amorphous state.In general, Due to by manufacturing process, the impact of the factors such as ambient temperature and the initial resistance of phase-change memory cell , needed for tens nanoseconds to a few phase-change memory cell write operation (RESET) in phase transition storage The electric current heat time heating time of hundred nanoseconds, and carry out the phase-change memory cell in phase transition storage wiping behaviour Make (SET) and need the electric current heat time heating time of hundreds of nanosecond to several milliseconds.Owing to SET programs far away More than RESET programming time, so the program speed of phase transition storage is mainly by SET programming time Determine.Reduce SET programming time significant to improving phase transition storage speed.
Owing to the actual temperature of the phase-change material in phase-change memory cell between the various elements can be variant , the material that this species diversity can be not intended in one or more unit of chien shih device is plus tradition SE Fusion temperature T is reached during T pulsem, thus cause these unit to be maintained at high-impedance state.For avoiding this Individual problem, traditional programming technique uses the SET pulse that amplitude is less to carry out wiping operation, to ensure SET pulse adds when putting phase-change memory cell, and phase-change material is not reaching to fusion temperature Tm.This side Method makes the SET operation time be far longer than the RESET operation time.Additionally, memory element can be deposited There is stable state to be substantially less than the unit of optimum temperature, this reduces SET and RES in memory element ET distribution of resistance scope.
Owing to phase change resistor exists OTS effect, 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 decline suddenly, but now phase change resistor Not by actual program, if removing voltage, phase change resistor can come back to original resistance. Phase-change memory cell, during changing to low resistance state from high-impedance state, needs first to surmount material Switching threshold, enter programmed state.Traditional SET operation is the rectangular pulse applying lower-magnitude Signal, on phase-change memory cell, needs the long period to enter and reaches to surmount switching threshold Energy, this part-time is added with the crystallization sensitive time after entrance programmed state, constitutes SE T wipes the All Time of operation.Obviously, the pulse signal of this lower-magnitude slow down phase change memory Unit enters the time of programmed state.

Detailed description of the invention
Below by way of specific instantiation, embodiments of the present invention being described, those skilled in the art can Other advantages and effect of the present invention is understood easily by the content disclosed by this specification.This Bright can also be carried out by the most different detailed description of the invention or apply, in this specification Every details can also be based on different viewpoints and application, under the spirit without departing from the present invention Carry out various modification or change.
Owing to phase change resistor exists OTS effect, when pulse is added in phase change resistor unit, when voltage is higher than Certain switching threshold, the resistivity of phase change resistor unit can decline suddenly, but now phase change resistor Not by actual program, if removing 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 used for surpassing The more pulse of threshold value is referred to as pre-programmed pulse.
Two parts can be divided into for phase transition storage carries out wiping the SET pulse of operation, pre-programmed pulse with Programming pulse.First it is to apply a pre-programmed pulse: its pulse amplitude and RESET pulse amplitude Quite and the retention time was about for tens nanoseconds, less than the RESET operation time so that device cell In phase-change material can surmount rapidly switching threshold in a short time, enter programmed state.Then by SE T pulse is changed into programming pulse: its amplitude is relatively low, and keeps certain time, makes device cell reach To crystallization temperature ToptNeighbouring temperature, and during this period of time there is preferably crystallization, phase transformation list Unit is changed into low resistance state.
It is known that the key character of RESET write operation is, apply a high-amplitude pulse signal, First storage material reaches to surmount switching threshold, after entering RESET programmed state, removes rapidly arteries and veins Rush signal and memory element can be maintained at amorphous state, as shown in RESET programming pulse in Fig. 1.Institute With, when the initial amplitude of SET pulse is more than tradition SET pulse, memorizer can reach temperature Tm On, surmount switching threshold, enter programmed state, but owing to the SET pulse of this high-amplitude is protected The time of holding just corresponds to phase change cells and surmounts the time of switching threshold, and its follow-up pulse amplitude declines It is kept to relatively low pulse amplitude so that phase-change material temperature is reduced to crystallization temperature ToptNear, directly Enter SET programming state.
As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, described SET programming pulse is formed by double square pulse combined , as shown in Figure 2.Pulse 1 is pre-programmed pulse, and its amplitude is suitable with RESET pulse, and electric current reaches To I1, the time at about 30ns, less than the RESET write operation time so that phase-change memory cell surpass More switching threshold, enters programmed state.Pulse 2 is programming pulse: its pulse amplitude and tradition SET Pulse amplitude is suitable, and electric current is about I2, owing to having surmounted switching threshold, its time will be the least Tradition SET heat time heating time.Two-way pulse is applied on phase-change memory cell, constitutes dipulse Quick SET wipe operation.
As the another kind of preferred version of the present invention, described SET programming pulse by pre-programmed pulse with have The programming pulse composition of the trailing edge of variable slope, as shown in Figure 3.Apply pre-programmed pulse it After, phase change cells quickly surmounts switching threshold, enters programmed state, applies trailing edge and has variable The programming pulse of slope so that the crystallization temperature excursion of memory element increases, electric current width Degree can produce crystallization temperature T in phase change cells as much as possibleopt, in order to provide for these unit Optimum SET operation distribution of resistance.Wherein, the slope rate of decay of trailing edge portion can include, many Item formula, logarithmic, exponential form etc..
The speed of current phase transition storage write operation (i.e. RESET programming process) about in tens nanoseconds to several In hundred nano-seconds, and wipe the speed of operation (i.e. SET programming process) about at millisecond magnitude, R ESET Yu SET programming process is required for first surmounting the switching threshold of phase-change memory cell, enters back into Programming state.If phase-change memory cell can be made rapidly to surmount its switch in SET programming process Threshold value, can promote the wiping operating time, the program speed of phase transition storage will be substantially improved.
In one embodiment, the SET pulse operated for phase transition storage carries out wiping is divided into two parts , pre-programmed pulse and programming pulse.First it is to apply a pre-programmed pulse: its pulse amplitude With RESET pulse amplitude quite, and pulsewidth is about between 10ns ~ 100ns, preferably about 30ns, Less than the RESET operation time so that the phase-change material in memory element can surmount rapidly in a short time Switching threshold, enters programmed state.Then SET pulse is changed into programming pulse: its amplitude is relatively low , and keep certain time, make memory element reach the temperature near crystallization temperature Topt, and Preferably crystallization occurs in during this period of time, and phase-change memory cell is changed into low resistance state.
