Description

Phase change material nanowire and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of nano processing, and relates to a phase change material nanowire and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the rapid development of the semiconductor industry, the size of semiconductor devices tends to be smaller and smaller due to the continuous shrinkage of semiconductor process nodes, and the semiconductor memory chip, as a core component of a large-scale integrated circuit, occupies more than one third of the market share of the integrated circuit chip around the world. Smaller memory sizes are needed to meet future demands for high density memory storage devices. But the development of flash memory technology (one type of non-volatile memory) that is currently widely used to store data has met with a bottleneck. Firstly, in the aspect of reliability, the erasable frequency of a flash memory is only 10^ 6; in the writing time, the flash memory is written in by taking block as a unit, so that the writing time of the flash memory is microsecond magnitude; most importantly, when the photoetching limit node is below 22nm, the leakage current of the flash memory is too large, the stability is greatly limited, and the cell size of the flash memory is difficult to further shrink, so that the development of the flash memory is greatly limited.
New semiconductor memory technologies that are currently receiving wide attention include 3D-NANAD flash memory technology, Resistive Random Access Memory (RRAM) technology, magnetic memory (MRAM) technology, ferroelectric memory (FeRAM) technology, and phase change memory (PCRAM) technology. Compared with other novel semiconductor storage technologies, the phase change memory based on the phase change storage technology has the advantages of nonvolatility, good micro performance, long cycle life (the erasing and writing times are more than 10^ 6), high-speed reading (nanosecond magnitude), multistage storage and the like, is considered as the most potential next generation non-volatile storage technology, and realizes the mass production of small batches at present.
The phase-change material is used as a storage medium of the PCRAM, and the data storage of logic '0' and '1' is realized by reversible phase change between an amorphous state (RESET, high resistance) and a crystalline state (SET, low resistance) under the action of an electric field. Rapid transition of the phase change material between the two resistance states can be achieved by current-induced joule heating. The phase-change memory material is the core of the PCRAM, the size of the phase-change memory material directly determines the size of the PCRAM, and the phase-change material under the nanometer level has the performance advantages of low power consumption, high-speed memory and the like, thereby being beneficial to further high integration of an integrated circuit. Therefore, the preparation of nano-scale phase change memory materials is meaningful and indispensable.
Since the advent of nanowires and carbon nanotubes in the nano field, various nanowires have been successively prepared, such as silicon oxide nanowires, aluminum oxide nanowires, etc., and the preparation of nano-scale materials from nanowires has been widely studied and used to prepare electronic devices, which allow the self-assembly of integrated circuits from bottom to top. Therefore, in order to prepare the nano-scale phase change memory material, further reduce the size of the PCRAM and fully exert the performance advantages of the PCRAM, it is extremely important to explore the preparation of the nano-wire of the phase change memory material.
The existing chemical method for preparing the nanowire has complex process and serious environmental pollution, so that the exploration of a physical method for preparing the phase-change material nanowire is necessary and meaningful.
