Abstract

The invention provides a phase change material used in a phase change memory and a preparation method thereof. The general chemical formula of the phase change material used in a phase change memory is Sc 100‑x‑y‑z Ge x Sb y Te z , wherein, 0≤x≤60, 0≤y≤90, 0<z≤65, 0<100-x-y-z<100. The phase change material that can be used for phase change storage of the present invention has the ability of repeated phase change; Sc 100‑x‑y‑z Ge x Sb y Te z It has two different resistance states of high resistance and low resistance, and the reversible conversion between the high resistance state and the low resistance state can be realized by applying a pulse electric signal, which meets the basic requirements of phase change memory storage materials. It is a new type of storage material; the thermal stability, phase change speed and fatigue cycle characteristics of the material have been improved; pulse voltage or pulse laser can be used to drive the phase change material to undergo reversible transition between different structural states, and at the same time make the performance of the phase change material A reversible change occurs, thereby realizing the information storage of the phase change memory.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of microelectronics, and relates to a phase change material Sc used for a phase change memory 100-x-y-z Ge x Sb y Te z and its preparation method. Background technique [0002] The development of information storage technology is the embodiment of the progress of human civilization. From the invention of the transistor to the advent of the integrated circuit, mankind ushered in a glorious information age. The rapid development of information technology promotes the rapid development of storage technology towards non-volatility, high speed, low operating power consumption and good cycle characteristics. As the current mainstream non-volatile storage technology, flash memory has been widely used. However, with the rapid development of integrated circuits, the shortcomings of flash memory such as limited cycle times, slow operating speed, and high operating voltage limit its further application. Therefore, seeking...
