OTS material, gating unit and preparation method thereof
Technical Field

Background
Phase Change Random Access Memory (PCRAM) is a new type of nonvolatile memory, and has become the most competitive next generation memory technology due to its advantages such as high density (scalability), high speed, and low power consumption.
In order to achieve the goal of high density storage, the most popular approach is to use a crossbar array. The crossbar array requires the integration of gates with the gating cells. The role of the gate among them is: under the action of an external electric field, when a threshold voltage is reached, the transition from a high-resistance state to a low-resistance state can be realized, and the gate is opened. When the voltage is lower than the holding voltage, the state can be changed from the low resistance state to the high resistance state, and the gate is turned off. Based on the characteristics, the gate tube can effectively avoid the crosstalk problem caused when the information of the storage unit is read.
Currently, a gate tube capable of realizing three-dimensional integration mainly comprises an oxide diode, an oxide triode, a threshold change switch and the like. However, the gating device made of the material generally has the phenomena of higher threshold voltage and poorer thermal stability. In addition, for new memory devices such as phase change memory, the drive current is required to be at MA/cm2On-state currents of such high magnitude are difficult to achieve with typical gated devices. Therefore, the development of the gate device is currently aimed at achieving a large driving current, a high switching ratio, a low threshold voltage, high fatigue, and high reliability.
