Abstract

The invention provides a phase-change material layer, a phase-change memory unit and a preparation method thereof, the phase-change material layer comprising Ti x Te 1‑x layer and located on the Ti x Te 1‑x The Sb layer on the surface of the layer, where 0.33≤x≤0.56. The preparation process of the phase-change material layer in the phase-change memory unit of the present invention is compatible with the existing CMOS process, and has the following advantages: the Sb layer in the selected interval has a very fast phase-change speed so that the phase-change memory has a picosecond The erasing and writing operation time of the level improves the operation speed of the phase change memory; the selected interval Ti x Te 1‑x layer, which can still maintain the stability of the structure at high temperature and improve the thermal stability of the superlattice structure as a whole; Ti x Te 1‑x The layer has better adhesion to the substrate layer, which can increase the number of cycle operations of the device unit and prolong the life of the device unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of semiconductor material preparation, in particular to a phase-change material layer, a phase-change memory unit and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Memory is an important part of the current semiconductor market and the cornerstone of information technology, playing an important role in both life and the national economy. With the rapid increase of the amount of information along with social development, the research and development of memory with high data storage density has become an important task for memory researchers. Among them, the phase-change memory unit is considered by the International Semiconductor Industry Association to be the most likely to be replaced due to its advantages such as high-speed reading, high erasable times, non-volatility, small component size, low power consumption, strong vibration resistance and radiation resistance. The current flash memory becomes th...
