Embodiment 1

[0039] 1. Using magnetron sputtering W and Sb 2 Preparation of W on thermally oxidized silicon substrates by Te double-target co-sputtering x (Sb 2 Te) 1-x Thin films, when co-sputtering, the background vacuum is 2.0×10 -4 Pa, the argon gas pressure during sputtering is 0.22Pa. Sb 2 The sputtering power of the Te target is locked at radio frequency (RF) 20W, and the sputtering power of the W target is changed to radio frequency (RF) 0W, 5W, 7W, 10W respectively, and four kinds of phase change films a#, b#, c#, d#. The parameters of the four thin film phase change materials are shown in Table 1 below:

Abstract

The invention relates to a phase change material doped with metallic elements in the microelectronic technical field, and in particular relates to an antimony-rich high-speed phase change material for a phase change memory, a method for preparing the antimony-rich high-speed phase change material and an application of the material. The antimony-rich high-speed phase change material for the phase change memory has a chemical formula of Ax(Sb2Te)(1 minus x), where the x is atomic percent, A is selected from W, Ti, Ta or Mn, and x is larger than zero and less than 0.5. The phase change material provided by the invention is similar to the common GeSbTe materials, and is contributed to realizing high density storage. The phase change material can be performed on reversible phase change under the action that nanosecond-level pulse is driven by external electricity. The phase change speed of a W-Sb-Te phase change material is three times that of the GeSbTe materials, and is contributed to realizing the high density storage.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to metal element-doped phase-change materials in the technical field of microelectronics, in particular to an antimony-rich high-speed phase-change material used in phase-change memory, its preparation method and application. Background technique [0002] Phase-change memory technology is an emerging large-capacity memory technology. With high speed, high density, low voltage, low power consumption and good fatigue characteristics, it has become the main force that can replace the existing non-volatile memory technology. In recent years, research on phase-change memory (PCRAM) has become a hot topic in the scientific community. The working principle of PCRAM is very simple. It uses the huge resistance difference between the amorphous state and the crystalline state of the phase change material to realize the storage of "0" and "1". Although this performance of phase change materials was discovered as early as the 1960s, due to te...
