Abstract

A phase change memory cell includes an interlayer insulating layer formed on a semiconductor substrate, and a first electrode and a second electrode disposed in the interlayer insulating layer. A phase change material layer is disposed between the first and second electrodes. The phase change material layer may be an undoped GeBiTe layer, a doped GeBiTe layer containing an impurity or a doped GeTe layer containing an impurity. The undoped GeBiTe layer has a composition ratio within a range surrounded by four points (A 1 (Ge21.43, Bi16.67, Te61.9), A 2 (Ge44.51, Bi0.35, Te55.14), A 3 (Ge59.33, Bi0.5, Te40.17) and A 4 (Ge38.71, Bi16.13, Te45.16)) represented by coordinates on a triangular composition diagram having vertices of germanium (Ge), bismuth (Bi) and tellurium (Te). The doped GeBiTe layer contains an impurity and has a composition ratio within a range surrounded by four points (D 1 (Ge10, Bi20, Te70), D 2 (Ge30, Bi0, Te70), D 3 (Ge70, Bi0, Te30) and D 4 (Ge50, Bi20, Te30)) represented by coordinates on the triangular composition diagram.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 2006-45298 filed on May 19, 2006, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a non-volatile memory, and more specifically, to a phase-change memory unit using a GeBiTe layer as a phase-change material layer, a phase-change memory including the phase-change memory unit, an electronic system including the phase-change memory and a manufacturing method thereof . Background technique [0004] Nonvolatile memories retain their stored data even when their power supply is cut off. Therefore, nonvolatile memories are widely used in computers, mobile telecommunication systems, memory cards, and the like. [0005] A flash memory is widely used as a nonvolatile memory. Many flash memories employ memory cells with a stacked gate structure. The stacked gate structure of a ...
