Description

Topological phase change memristor with controllable conductive wire forming area and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor information storage and artificial synapse devices, in particular to a topological phase-change memristor with a controllable conductive wire forming area and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the increasing demand of artificial intelligence and the big data age, traditional computing architectures face serious challenges in terms of energy efficiency and processing speed. To address this problem, resistive Switching (RS) memory has emerged as a viable alternative solution, and more specifically, resistive switching memory exhibits excellent performance, including low power consumption, fast switching speeds, and high levels of three-dimensional stackable integration, and has therefore evolved as one of the most promising options for nonvolatile memory and neuromorphic computation. However, the inherent instability of resistive switching effects limits the wide range of applications for memristors. The resistance switching mechanism of memristors is achieved by ion and electron transfer in the device, but ion and electron transfer is difficult to be consistent across devices and cycles. For oxide-based memristors with a valence charge mechanism as the conduction mechanism, this dispersibility is mainly due to the inevitable randomness of the growth position and shape of the Conductive Filaments (CF) under different devices and continuous cycling applications.
Topological phase change material SrFeO m (SFO) as a typical memristor material, a topological phase change material refers to a material in which a portion of the elements are extracted, resulting in distortion of the lattice symmetry, but the overall material skeleton remains stable. In SFO systems, SFO is achieved by losing or absorbing a portion of the oxygen atoms in SrFeO 2.5 Perovskite phase (BM-SFO) and SrFeO 3 The phase change between the perovskite phases (PV-SFO) is reversible. In addition to the differences in crystal structure, BM-SFO differs significantly from PV-SFO in terms of electronic structure. In BM-SFO, the charge transfer energy of the O2 p orbitals to the unoccupied Fe 3d orbitals is positive, creating a bandgap of about 2 eV, making BM-SFO an insulating phase. In contrast, in PV-SFO, the O2 p orbitals have one electron transferred to the Fe 3d orbitals, resulting in O2 p being in an unfilled state, forming a negative band gap, making the PV-SFO a conductive phase. This reversible topological phase change results in significant changes in electronic structure and conductivity, making SFO idealMemristor material of (c). Based on the above mechanism, it was found that unlike conventional oxide memristors, SFO memristors rely primarily on the formation and breaking of oxygen-rich ion PV-SFO phase conductive filaments to control the resistance-change switching characteristics.
The prior patent CN114883487a discloses a self-forming topology phase-change nano memory device structure, its preparation and application, active metal nano particles are grown on SXO (x=fe, co) film, partial O ions in SXO are absorbed by utilizing the property that the metal nano particles are easy to be oxidized, and at this time, the SXO film below the metal nano particles is in an anoxic state, forming a higher resistance valuePhase barrier layer, at this point->The dimensions of the conductive filaments are determined by the dimensions of the metal nanoparticles and +.>The direction of the conductive filaments is defined to be perpendicular to the in-plane direction of the thin film to some extent to achieve uniformity and reliability of the oxide-based memory device.
However, the above technical solution still has the following disadvantages: firstly, the nano metal particles used for generating the limiting area of the conductive wire in the technical scheme are required to be active metal with strong oxygen absorption capacity, so that the metal type is limited, and meanwhile, the range and the stoichiometric ratio of oxygen-deficient SFO generated by metal oxygen absorption are unstable, so that the isolated PV-SFO conductive wire is poor in structural stability; secondly, before bias voltage is applied, the components of the SFO functional layer are 2.85-3, SFO in the state is a conductive phase, and the bias voltage is applied in a process of adjusting the SFO functional layer from low resistance to high resistance, so that the resistance of the device in the high-low resistance state is low, and the power consumption optimization and the multi-value characteristic of the device are not facilitated; thirdly, in the technical scheme, the bottom electrode is an SRO bottom electrode, the lattice mismatch degree between the bottom electrode and the SFO is larger, and oxygen ions on the surface of the SRO are more active, so that the memristor is influenced by the bottom electrode SRO in the aspect of forming a conductive wire forming area, and the state of the conductive wire is unstable.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above, the invention provides a topology phase-change memristor with a controllable conductive wire forming area and a preparation method thereof, so as to solve the problems of poor structural stability and low resistance of the conductive wire formed by a memristor resistance change functional layer in the prior art, and the problem that the cycle stability and the device consistency of the topology phase-change memristor are not ideal.
The technical scheme of the invention is realized as follows:
in a first aspect, the invention provides a topology phase-change memristor with a controllable conductive wire forming area, wherein the topology phase-change memristor comprises a bottom electrode layer, a resistance-change functional layer, a dielectric layer and a top electrode layer from bottom to top;
after voltage is applied, a conductive channel is formed between the bottom electrode layer and the top electrode layer, and the conductive channel conducts the top electrode layer and the bottom electrode layer;
the conductive channel comprises a first conductive wire and a second conductive wire, the first conductive wire is formed on the dielectric layer, the second conductive wire is formed on the resistance change function layer, and the formation of the second conductive wire is limited by the first conductive wire.
On the basis of the technical scheme, preferably, after negative voltage is applied, the dielectric layer is subjected to conductive wire electroforming treatment to form a first conductive wire; and applying a positive bias voltage of 1-5V again, wherein the resistance change function layer forms a second conductive wire, the forming area of the second conductive wire corresponds to the forming area of the first conductive wire, and the width of the second conductive wire is smaller than or equal to that of the first conductive wire so as to limit the formation of the second conductive wire through the first conductive wire.
Specifically, before no voltage is applied, no conductive wires exist in the dielectric layer and the resistance change function layer. After the negative voltage is applied, the dielectric layer can divide most of the voltage, so that the first conductive wire is formed on the dielectric layer by layer, namely the oxygen vacancy conductive wire in the dielectric layer is equivalent to a conductive path which is partially broken down in the dielectric layer, and the first conductive wire is not easy to break and is not easy to disappear after being formed. At this time, in the dielectric layer, the resistance of the first conductive wire area is much smaller than that of other areas, so that after the first conductive wire is formed, current mainly flows through the first conductive wire, and small positive bias is applied again, and the positive bias only acts on the area of the resistive function layer corresponding to the first conductive wire, so that the resistive function layer is promoted to form a second conductive wire in the area corresponding to the first conductive wire, and the device is set; the second conductive wire comes from the topological phase change of the material of the resistance change functional layer, is caused by oxygen ion migration, has lower formation energy, can be broken by applying smaller negative bias voltage, and is reset.
In contrast, the conventional memristor realizes the storage and logic operation by utilizing the characteristic that the resistance of an oxide or metal film changes along with the change of the current direction, and the topological phase-change memristor realizes the storage and logic operation functions by utilizing the characteristic of the topological phase-change material, wherein the material can undergo topological phase change when being subjected to the change of an electric field or temperature, so that the resistance state of the material is changed. In the invention, the bottom electrode layer and the top electrode layer are respectively used as electrodes of the device, and the resistance change functional layer is a key part of the topology phase change material, when an electric field or temperature change is applied, the topology phase change of the resistance change functional layer material occurs, so that the resistance state of the resistance change functional layer material is changed. The topological phase change memristor mainly depends on formation and fracture of phase conductive wires of a resistance change function layer of oxygen-enriched ions to control resistance change switching characteristics, so that the heterogeneous thin film memristor with a top electrode layer/a dielectric layer/a resistance change function layer/a bottom electrode layer is constructed.

The thin bottom electrode layer can reduce the resistance of the growth of the bottom electrode layer, and promote the bottom electrode to grow along the direction of the substrate structure in the preparation process, so that the epitaxial relationship is ensured; and the thicker top electrode can avoid being punctured during testing.
On the basis of the technical scheme, preferably, the thickness of the dielectric layer is 2-4 nm, and the material of the dielectric layer is A a O b Wherein A is any one of Al, hf, ta, zr, biFe and BaTi, and a and b are both greater than 0.

In the invention, binary or multi-element oxide is used as a dielectric layer material, so that the dielectric layer structure is more universal, the binary or multi-element oxide has more complex electrical properties, different electrical properties can be realized by adjusting components and structures, and the prepared topological phase change memristor structure has more flexible application; and meanwhile, the lattice parameter and the unit cell volume of the binary or multi-element oxide can realize better lattice matching and interface bonding by adjusting components, so that the stress caused by lattice mismatch is reduced, a more stable dielectric layer-electrode interface is formed, and the performance and the stability of the device are improved.

TABLE 1
Fig. 2 shows a TEM image of the SRO/BM-SFO interface of example 1, and it can be seen from the figure that SRO has a poor epitaxial effect of BM-SFO due to a low lattice adaptation with SFO, and affects the ordered growth of PV-SFO conductive filaments (i.e. the second conductive filaments).
Fig. 3 shows the structural change before and after the bias operation of the topological phase-change memristor after the introduction of the dielectric layer in embodiment 2, and it can be seen from the figure that after the bias operation is applied, the first conductive wire is formed in the dielectric layer, the resistive function layer forms the second conductive wire (i.e., the region indicated by the black dotted line frame in the figure), and the second conductive wire corresponds to the first conductive wire, i.e., the second conductive wire is limited in the region formed by the first conductive wire in the dielectric layer.

It can be seen that when Al is introduced at 2nm 2 O 3 Medium (D)After the layer, the cycling stability of the device was enhanced, but the memory window of the device was reduced compared to example 2 due to Al 2 O 3 The dielectric layer becomes thinner, resulting in a weaker confinement capability for the second conductive filaments.
