Embodiment
Set forth the present invention further below in conjunction with specific embodiment, should be understood that this embodiment is only not used in for illustration of the present invention and limit the scope of the invention.
Prepare the Gd-Ge-Sb-Te phase transiting storing thin-film material of different Gd content:
Phase-change material in the present embodiment adopts Ge 2sb 2te 5alloys target and Gd target co-sputtering obtain.Described cosputtering condition is: in cosputtering process, pass into the Ar gas that purity is more than 99.999%, Ge 2sb 2te 5alloys target adopts radio-frequency power supply, and Gd target adopts DC power supply.Described radio-frequency power supply power is 25W, and described DC power supply power is 10-30W.Ge 2sb 2te 5after alloys target build-up of luminance, then open Gd target power supply.The described cosputtering time is 30 minutes, and film thickness is approximately 150-200nm.
The Gd-Ge-Sb-Te phase transiting storing thin-film material of the different Gd content obtained by the present embodiment obtains Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 after testing:
Fig. 1 is that the Gd-Ge-Sb-Te phase transiting storing thin-film material square resistance for different Gd content in embodiment varies with temperature relation curve.As shown in Figure 1, resistivity measurement is carried out to serial Gd-Ge-Sb-Te phase transiting storing thin-film material of the present invention, obtains temperature-resistance rate relation curve.In FIG, Ge is respectively for component 2sb 2te 5, Gd 0.3(Ge 2sb 2te 5) 99.7, Gd 3.14(Ge 2sb 2te 5) 96.86, Gd 4(Ge 2sb 2te 5) 96, Gd 6.14(Ge 2sb 2te 5) 93.8and Gd 8.52(Ge 2sb 2te 5) 91.48the Gd-Ge-Sb-Te phase transiting storing thin-film material of different Gd content, the crystallization temperature of its correspondence is respectively 166 DEG C, 177.1 DEG C, 181.7 DEG C, 190 DEG C, 223 DEG C and 242 DEG C.Can find out, below crystallization temperature, Gd-Ge-Sb-Te series phase transiting storing thin-film material is in the amorphous state of high-resistance state, and on the contrary, more than crystallization temperature, Gd-Ge-Sb-Te series phase transiting storing thin-film material is in the crystalline state of low resistance state.Here, after Gd doping, Gd-Ge-Sb-Te series phase transiting storing thin-film material crystallization temperature comparatively Ge 2sb 2te 5all increase, thus, be conducive to the raising of data retention.For the present invention, the crystallization temperature of described Gd-Ge-Sb-Te series phase transiting storing thin-film material increases along with Gd content and raises, and therefore can change crystallization temperature by adjustment Gd content.
Fig. 2 is activation energy and the data retention result of calculation figure of the Gd-Ge-Sb-Te phase transiting storing thin-film material of different Gd content in embodiment.Confining force is phase-change material vital characteristic, is one of important parameter weighing this phase-change material performance.First, confining force is mainly used for characterizing amorphous thermal stability, when probe temperature point is higher than phase-change material crystallization in the process heated up during crystallization temperature, and cannot test out this amorphous retention time, therefore the probe temperature point of confining force must lower than crystallization temperature.Moreover the out-of-service time is defined as film resistor and drops to the time corresponding to half being just raised to initial resistance corresponding to probe temperature point.By the different Gd content of Fig. 1 corresponding Gd-Ge-Sb-Te series phase transiting storing thin-film material crystallization temperature, we choose Gd 0.3(Ge 2sb 2te 5) 99.7, Gd 3.14(Ge 2sb 2te 5) 96.86and Gd 6.14(Ge 2sb 2te 5) 93.86three compositions are used for out-of-service time mensuration, and extrapolate the temperature corresponding to crystallization activation energy and retention time.As shown in Figure 2, Gd 0.3(Ge 2sb 2te 5) 99.7crystallization activation energy (E a) be 2.45eV, 10 annual datas keep temperature to be 87 DEG C; Gd 3.14(Ge 2sb 2te 5) 96.86crystallization activation energy (E a) be 2.88eV, 10 annual datas keep temperature to be 94 DEG C; Gd 6.14(Ge 2sb 2te 5) 93.86crystallization activation energy (E a) be 3.98eV, 10 annual datas keep temperature to be 115 DEG C.As can be drawn from Figure 2, the activation energy of Gd-Ge-Sb-Te phase transiting storing thin-film material comparatively Ge 2sb 2te 5(2.24eV) large, 10 annual datas keep temperature comparatively Ge 2sb 2te 5(85 DEG C) are higher.The increase of crystallization activation energy is conducive to improving amorphous thermal stability.
Compared with prior art, usefulness of the present invention is: this thin-film material, excellent performance can be obtained by the Gd element adulterating considerably less, show as and have stronger thermal stability, higher crystalline resistance, obvious resistance difference between amorphous state and crystalline state, and better data retention characteristics etc.
The description of the embodiment of the present invention and application are illustrative, and can not by scope restriction of the present invention in the above-described embodiments.
