Abstract

The invention provides a method for manufacturing a heating layer of a phase change storage unit. The method comprises the following steps: depositing a titanium nitride film on a substrate; and annealing the titanium nitride film in a nitrogen / oxygen mixture environment so as to form a titanium oxynitride film. The invention also provides the phase storage unit, which comprises the substrate, an insulating layer on the substrate and a phase change unit penetrating through the insulating layer; the phase change unit comprises a lower electrode, a first heating layer, a first phase change layer and an upper electrode which are formed on the substrate in turn; and the first heating layer is made from titanium oxynitride. The adhesivity between the heating layer and the phase change layer is high, and the reduction of the power consumption of the phase change storage unit is facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of phase-change memory, in particular to a phase-change memory unit and a manufacturing method of a heating layer thereof. Background technique [0002] Phase-change memory is a non-volatile memory device with broad development prospects in current memory devices. The advantages of high-speed reading, high repeatability and erasable times, small component size, low power consumption, strong vibration resistance and radiation resistance of phase change memory make phase change memory favored by memory manufacturers. [0003] The basic principle of phase change memory technology is to use chalcogenide compounds as the storage medium, and use electric energy (heat) to make the phase change layer switch between crystalline (low resistance) and amorphous (high resistance) to realize the writing and recording of information. Erase, and the readout of information is realized by measuring the change of resistance. [0004] ...
