- FIG. 5 represents another curve of variation of characteristic quantities of an embodiment of a selector element
- FIG. 6 represents, by views A and B, still other curves of variation of quantities characteristic of an embodiment of a selector element.
- FIG. 1 is a view, simplified and in perspective, of an embodiment of a memory 1.
- the memory 1 comprises memory points or cells 3 making it possible to store all or part of a data item.
- the memory 1 further comprises electrical conductors 50, 51, 52, 53, 54 and 55. These conductors 50, 51, 52, 53, 54 and 55 are made of an electrically conductive metallic material, for example copper. .
- the conductors 50, 51, 52, 53, 54 and 55 are, in Figure 1, arranged such that they form, seen from above, a matrix of which each intersection or crossing corresponds to a location of a memory point.
- conductors 50, 51, 52, 53, 54 and 55, of the first conductors are, in Figure 1, arranged such that they form, seen from above, a matrix of which each intersection or crossing corresponds to a location of a memory point.
- second conductors 51, 53 and 55 also form rectilinear bands, parallel to each other and regularly spaced.
- the first conductors 50, 52 and 54 are, in top view, arranged perpendicular to the second conductors 51, 53 and 55.
- the conductors 50, 52 and 54 are, in top view, arranged perpendicular to the second conductors 51, 53 and 55.
- 51, 52, 53, 54 and 55 are not, however, directly connected to each other.
- the first conductors 50, 52 and 54, on the one hand, and the second conductors 51, 53 and 55, on the other hand, are not coplanar but are separated by a distance corresponding to a height, noted H, of a memory point 3.
- Each memory point 3 of memory 1 is thus inserted between:
- each memory point 3 has, seen from above, a square shape, the length of one side of which measures P / 2.
- This measurement P / 2 is equivalent to half of a quantity called “pitch” P of the matrix formed by the conductors 50, 51, 52, 53, 54 and 55 of the memory 1.
- the memory points 3 in contact from the same driver 50, 51, 52,
- Conductors 50, 51, 52, 53, 54 or 55 are regularly spaced by a distance which is also equivalent to P / 2 corresponding to half of the pitch (half pitch) of the matrix.
- the memory 1 has a three-dimensional structure consisting of a stack of layers of memory points separated by conductors.
- memory points 3 are arranged under the second conductors 51, 53 and 55. These memory points 3 are contacted, in the lower part, by conductors (not shown) arranged orthogonally to the second conductors 51, 53 and 55 (like the first conductors 50, 52 and 54).
- each memory point 3 comprises a stack, defining an electrical connection in series:
- a layer 35 of electrically conductive material for example called a metallic layer 35;
- selector element 33 or selector 33.
- the selector element 33 of a memory point 3 is, in Figure 1, in contact with the first conductor, among the first conductors 50, 52 and 54.
- the resistive memory element 31 is, in turn, at contact of the second conductor, among the second conductors 51, 53 and 55.
- the metal layer 35 is interposed between the resistive memory element 31 and the selector element 33.
- Each memory point 3 is, in fact, connected to a pair of conductors, consisting of a first and a second driver, which is specific to it.
- the memory point 3 considered To read or write in the resistive memory element 31 of a memory point 3 of the memory 1, we first select the memory point 3 considered. The selection is made, for example, by applying a potential difference between the two conductors forming the pair of conductors specific to the memory point 3 considered. This potential difference is of sufficient value to make it possible to modify a state of the selector element 33, so that an electric current can flow in the memory point 3 considered. This electric current makes it possible, depending on its intensity, to read or write in memory point 3.
- Ileak parasitizes other memory points in contact with one of the two conductors of the pair specific to the memory point 3 considered.
- This Ileak leakage current arises from the fact that, in practice, the selector elements 33 being at rest do not have an infinite resistance.
- the resistive memory element 31 is preferably made of dioxide hafnium (HfO2) and titanium (Ti).
- Hafnium dioxide hafnium (HfO2) and titanium (Ti).
- the titanium layer forming the resistive memory element 31 is located as desired in contact with the metal layer 35 or with the second conductor 51, 53 or 55 of the memory point 3.
- the metal layer 35 interposed between the memory element 31 and the selector element 33, is, for example, made of titanium nitride (TiN).
- the memory 1 is a random access memory by conductive link (Conductive Bridging Random Access Memory - CBRAM).
- the selector element 33 is an ovonic threshold switch (OTS).
- OTS ovonic threshold switch
- the selector element 33 is, for example, made from amorphous chalcogenide materials.
- a property of amorphous chalcogenide materials is that they pass, when a voltage greater than a threshold voltage, denoted Vth, is applied to them, from a strongly resistive level to a strongly conductive level.
- This strongly conductive level has less electrical resistance than the strongly resistive level.
- the strongly resistive (or weakly conductive) level corresponds to a blocking state, preventing access to the memory element 31, while the strongly conductive (or weakly resistive) level corresponds to a passing state (or conductive state), allowing access to memory element 31.
- the on state is qualified as volatile (or temporary, or not permanent), because this on state is maintained as long as an electric current, passing through the selector element 33, remains greater than a holding current (holding current ), noted Ih.
- a holding current holding current
- the on state makes it possible to circulate an electric current in order to read or program in a memory element 31.
- the blocking state strongly resistive, for its part makes it possible to prevent access to the memory element 31 and to limit the leakage current Ileak in the memory points 3 that are not selected or not addressed in the memory 1.
- FIG. 2 schematically represents an embodiment of a matrix 5 of memory points.
- the matrix 5 is a two-dimensional matrix of memory points.
- FIG. 2 corresponds, for example, to a top view of a layer of memory points 3 of memory 1 (FIG. 1) lying between the first conductors 50, 52 and 54, on the one hand, and the second conductors 51 , 53 and 55, on the other hand. All memory points 3 of matrix 5 are identical, except for the pairs of conductors to which they are connected.
- Each memory point 3 of the matrix 5 has a structure similar to that of the memory points 3 exposed in relation to FIG. 1.
- Each memory point 3 thus comprises, in series:
- the resistive memory element 31 symbolized in FIG. 2 by a second rectangle.
- the selector element 33 is connected on the one hand (point 523) to the conductor 52 and on the other hand to the metal layer 35.
- the resistive memory element 31 is, for its part, connected with a on the one hand (point 533) to the conductor 53 and on the other hand to the metal layer 35.
- V a voltage, denoted V
- This voltage V is obtained, for example, by bringing the conductor 52 to an electric potential of value -V / 2 and the conductor 53 to a higher electric potential, of value V / 2. All other conductors 50, 51, 54 and 55 are held at a potential of about zero volts (0 V).
- a potential difference is imposed approximately equal, except for voltage drops in the conductors, to voltage V.
- this selector element 33 When this voltage V reaches a value greater than or equal to the threshold voltage Vth of the selector element 33, this selector element 33 then becomes on and a current, denoted I, flows (dotted arrows) in the memory point 3 and in a part of the conductors 52 and 53 under the effect of the voltage applied to the memory point 3. It is then said that the memory element 31 of the memory point 3 is selected by the selector element 33.
- the value of the current I is adapted according to the operation, read or write, desired.
- a non-linearity of the selector element 33 is also sought, that is to say the greatest possible difference in conductivity between the on state and the blocking state. This thus makes it possible to prevent memory points adjacent to a selected memory point (for example, the memory points located to the left and to the right of the memory point detailed in FIG. 2) from being inadvertently activated under the effect of Ileak leak.
- FIG. 3 represents a current-voltage characteristic of an embodiment of a memory point.
- the abscissa axis corresponds to a voltage applied across a memory element or a memory point.
- the voltage V applied between the terminals of the memory element 31 alone in FIG. 2 relates to the curves 20 and 22 of the graph, while the voltage V applied between the terminals 533 and 523 of the memory point 3 of FIG. 2 relates to the curves 24 and 26 of the graph.
- the ordinate axis corresponds, in logarithmic scale, to the current passing through the resistive memory element 31 or the memory point 3, depending on the curve considered.
- the resistive memory element 31 of the memory point 3 stores a binary value.
- a high state of this binary value is designated by “ON” and a low state of this same binary value by “OFF”.
- the ON state corresponds to a weakly resistive state (Low-Resistance State (LRS)) and that the OFF state corresponds to a highly resistive state (High-Resistance State (HRS)).
- the weakly resistive ON state has less electrical resistance than the strongly resistive OFF level.
- the left part of Figure 3 (curves 20 and 22) illustrates the behavior of the resistive memory element 31 alone.
- curves 24 and 26 illustrates the behavior of memory point 3 (selector element 33, conductive metal layer 35 and resistive memory element 31 in series) in the high ON state (curve 26) and the behavior of memory point 3 in the low OFF state (curve 24).
- a switching of the resistive memory element 31 from the OFF state to the ON state takes place by circulating, through the memory point 3, a current I of an intensity greater than a switching threshold , noted IHRS.
- IHRS a switching threshold
- FIG. 3 we thus go from curve 20 (MEM OFF) in solid line to curve 22 (MEM ON) in dotted line.
- the switching threshold IHRS is greater than or equal to the threshold current Ith of the element. selector 33.
- a voltage denoted VREAD is applied between its terminals 533 and 523 (FIG. 2).
- This voltage VREAD is located, in Figure 3, in a range of voltages, denoted AVth, between a threshold voltage, denoted Vthl (curve 26 in dotted line, SEL + MEM ON) of the selector element 33 and another voltage , denoted Vth2 (curve 24 in solid line, SEL + MEM OFF).
- the resistive memory element 31 is initially in the ON state.
- the resistive memory element 31 is switched from the ON state to the OFF state, by applying to the memory point 3 a reset voltage, denoted VRESET (not shown in FIG. 3).
- the resistive memory 31 is then switched from this OFF state to the ON state by the application, to the memory point 3, of a programming voltage, denoted VSET, lower than the reset voltage VRESET.
- VSET a programming voltage
- FIG. 4 represents a curve of variation of characteristic quantities of an embodiment of a selector element.
- the x-axis corresponds to a voltage in volts applied to the terminals of the selector element 33 (curve 4) or of a memory element (points 41, 43).
- the y-axis corresponds, in logarithmic scale, to the current (in amperes) passing through the selector element 33 (curve 4) or the memory element (points 41, 43).
- the selector element 33 of the memory point 3 consists of an alloy based on germanium (Ge), selenium (Se), arsenic (As) and tellurium (Te).
- the selector element 33 is, still according to this embodiment, an ovonic threshold switch.
- the alloys or compounds of germanium and selenium enriched in selenium, denoted GS, have good thermal stability. This makes it possible to facilitate the implementation of steps for manufacturing memory points 3 of a memory such as memory 1 (FIG. 1), the GS material being insensitive to temperatures below about 400 ° C.
- GS alloys used in selector elements 33 are, however, characterized by poor switching properties, in particular due to an excessively high threshold voltage Vth.
- the selector elements 33 based on GS alloys also show poor switching endurance, when cycles of successive transitions between their highly resistive level (blocking state) and their highly conductive level (on state) are applied to them.
- advantage is taken of the fact that the addition of so-called doping materials improves the switching properties of the selector elements made from GS alloys.
- an addition of a material or compound based on arsenic and tellurium, denoted AT, in a GS alloy of a selector element 33 makes it possible to reduce the threshold voltage Vth of the selector element 33 while improving its switching endurance. It is thus possible, by adjusting the AT content (or proportion of AT) in a GS alloy of which the selector element 33 is made, to obtain a balance between the thermal stability of the alloy and the switching properties of the alloy. selector element 33.
- the selector element 33 is manufactured from an alloy formed from a pseudo-binary system GS-AT, more preferably from
- the manufacture of the selector element 33 takes place, for example, by physical vapor deposition (Physical
- the Ge3Se7As2Te3 alloy is thus made up:
- curve 4 illustrates, for different contents of AT alloy (As2Te3) in the GS-AT alloy of which the selector element 33 is made, a variation of the Ileak leakage current at the terminals of the element selector 33 (in amps, on a logarithmic scale) as a function of its threshold voltage Vth (in volts).
- the leakage current Ileak of the selector element 33 is, by convention, measured at a voltage equal to half of the threshold voltage Vth.
- the AT alloy content is, in this example, measured in atomic percentage.
- the alloy preferably comprises a content of arsenic and tellurium compound of between approximately 20% and approximately 80%, preferably between 20% and 80%
- Curve 4 has six points which each correspond to a different content of AT alloy in the GS-AT alloy:
- a first point 400 corresponds to a zero AT content, that is to say to a GS alloy composed only of the GS alloy (Ge3Se7);
- a second point 420 corresponds to an AT content equal to 20%, that is to say to a GS-AT alloy made up of
- a third point 440 corresponds to an AT content equal to 40%, that is to say to a GS-AT alloy made up of
- a fourth point 450 corresponds to an AT content equal to 50%, that is to say to a GS-AT alloy made up of
- a fifth point 460 corresponds to an AT content equal to 60%, that is to say to a GS-AT alloy consisting of 40% of the GS alloy and 60% of the AT alloy;
- a sixth point 480 corresponds to an AT content equal to 80%, that is to say to a GS-AT alloy consisting of 20% of the GS alloy and 80% of the AT alloy.
- the threshold voltage Vth, the threshold current Ith and / or the leakage current Ileak of the selector element 33 it is interesting to seek to adjust the threshold voltage Vth, the threshold current Ith and / or the leakage current Ileak of the selector element 33, in particular to associate this selector element 33 with a resistive memory element 31 to make them compatible. It is assumed in this example that the programming voltage VSET of the resistive memory element 31 is approximately equal to 1.5 V (point 41, VSET x IHRS) It is assumed, again in this example, that the reset voltage VRESET of resistive memory element 31 is approximately equal to 2 V (point 43, VRESET x ILRS).
- the threshold current Ith of the selector element 33 is less than or equal to the switching threshold current IHRS of the resistive memory element 31. Plus the threshold current Ith of the selector element 33 approaches the switching threshold current IHRS of the resistive memory element 31, the more the programming window increases. The ideal case would therefore be that Ith is equal to IHRS.
- the Ileak leakage current is as low as possible.
- a selector element 33 characterized by:
- Vth of about 2.4 V
- Ith of the order of 5 mA
- the selector made of a GS-AT alloy has proportions of one or the other of the GS or AT compounds which compose it such that, in order of priority, it has the following characteristics, taken alone or in combination:
- a memory 1 (FIG. 1) is thus, for example, manufactured according to a process comprising the following steps:
- resistive memory elements 31 fabricate resistive memory elements 31; and manufacturing, in connection with the resistive memory elements 31, at least selector elements 33, made of a GS-AT alloy based on germanium, selenium, arsenic and tellurium.
- the composition of this GS-AT alloy is then optimized as a function of the electrical properties of the resistive memory elements 31.
- FIG. 5 represents another curve of variation of characteristic quantities of an embodiment of a selector element 33.
- the x-axis corresponds to the leakage current Ileak, in amperes, while the y-axis corresponds to the threshold current Ith, in amperes.
- the selector element 33 is an ovonic threshold switch composed of a GS-AT alloy, preferably of
- Ge3Se7As2Te3 We are interested here in the variation of the leakage current Ileak and the threshold current Ith as a function of the content of arsenic and tellurium compound, that is to say of AT alloy in the selector element 33.
- the content of AT alloy is varied to approximate an operating zone compatible with a resistive memory element 31.
- an increase in the AT alloy content leads to a simultaneous increase in the values of the leakage current Ileak and of the threshold current Ith for increasing contents of AT alloy (pentagons 64 to 67, corresponding respectively to levels 20%, 40% AT alloy,
- a GS-AT alloy is therefore selected comprising an AT content making it possible to obtain a threshold current value. Ith approaching the maximum switching threshold current IHRS of the memory element 31, while limiting the leakage currents Ileak, according to the size of the desired matrix. More particularly, this FIG. 5 illustrates the fact that the threshold current Ith and the leakage current Ileak of the selector 33 can vary as a function of the amount of the AT or GS compound present in the GS-AT alloy.
- FIG. 6 represents, by views A and B, still other curves of variation of quantities characteristic of an embodiment of a selector element 33.
- the selector element 33 is an ovonic threshold switch composed of a GS-AT alloy, preferably Ge3Se7As2Te3.
- the threshold voltage Vth of the selector element 33 (ordinate axis, in volts) as a function of its content or proportion of AT alloy (abscissa axis, in atomic percentage) in the GS-AT mixture. It is observed that the threshold voltage Vth decreases when the content of AT alloy (in As2Te3, in this example) increases
- Vth (-1.5 x 1 (T 3 x CAT + 0.13) x tOTS + (-4 x 10 ⁇ 4 x CAT + 0.7)
- As2Te3, in this example increases.
- CAT the content or concentration of As2Te3 and tOTS the thickness of the selector element 33
- exp the exponential function one takes advantage of the fact that the value of the leakage current Ileak is related to the atomic percentage of the compound of arsenic and tellurium in the GS-AT alloy, in particular in Ge3Se7As2Te3, by a relation of the type:
- the CAT content of arsenic and tellurium compound in the GS-AT alloy of the selector element 33 can be adjusted as a function of other characteristic properties of the resistive memory element 31.
