Problems solved by technology

However, the biggest weakness of the Sb-Te system is that the crystallization activation energy is small, which makes its amorphous state have poor thermal stability, which greatly limits the application and development of the Sb-Te system in the direction of high data retention.
Therefore, in the actual industrial mass production process, the applicability of the Sb-Te material system is improved by element doping, but the existing element doping modification often cannot meet the performance requirements of phase change materials in the field.

Abstract

The present invention provides a V-Sb-Te phase-change material system for phase-change memory and a preparation method thereof, wherein the V-Sb-Te phase-change material system is based on the Sb-Te phase-change material system doped V, and its general chemical formula is V100‑x‑ySbxTey, wherein, 0.5≤x / y≤4, and 50≤x+y≤99.99. The V-Sb-Te phase change material system of the present invention has fast phase change speed and low operating power consumption, and has better data retention and phase stability, and can greatly expand the application range of the Sb-Te phase change material system . At the same time, the V element can greatly reduce the grain size of the Sb-Te material system, making the material have better shrinkability, which also reduces the volume change rate of the material before and after the phase transition, and improves the fatigue resistance of the material . In addition, the V element has good compatibility with the Sb-Te material system, and the entire material behaves as a homogeneous phase.
