- the results are shown in Fig. 3.
- the specific experimental methods are as follows: First, the samples obtained in step 1 which are grown on the oxide sheet and not annealed are subjected to in-situ resistance tests at different constant temperatures, and the resistance-time curve is recorded, and then extracted from the resistance-time curve. The failure time at a constant temperature (wherein the failure time is defined as the time when the normalized resistance value drops to 0.5); Finally, the Arrhenius equation is used to calculate the sum and the result is shown in Fig. 3 (in the figure) GST is Ge 2 Sb 2 T e5 ).
- A#, b# and c# samples were annealed at 250 °C for 2 min and subjected to X-ray diffraction. The results are shown in Figure 4. It can be seen that each sample has crystallized. As the W content increases, the intensity of the diffraction peak decreases significantly, indicating a reduction in grain size. By comparison with standard XRD cards, each sample has the same hexagonal phase structure and no phase separation is found. A stable crystal structure helps to improve the stability of the device's SET operation.
- the c# sample Since the c# sample has suitable high and low resistance difference and data retention, the c# sample is prepared into a limited T-type phase change memory device using a 0.13 ⁇ CMOS process, and its electrical properties are tested.
- the structure diagram is shown in Figure 5.
- Figure 6 shows the resistance-voltage and resistance-pulse test results of the device unit. Under a voltage pulse of 20 nanoseconds, the device unit exhibits a reversible phase change characteristic, and the erase voltage and write voltage are IV and 2.7V, respectively.
- the high and low resistance values are 46 times different, and the device can perform SET operation under the pulse of 6ns. This shows that the c# sample can rapidly change phase under the action of lower electric pulse, and its speed can reach the level of DRAM.
- Figure 7 shows the cycle life test of the device unit. It is easy to see from the figure that under a shorter, lower voltage pulse, the device can stably repeat more than 10 5 times, and the high and low resistance values remain almost unchanged. Better reliability.
- Example 2
- the present invention effectively overcomes various shortcomings in the prior art and has high industrial utilization value.
