Abstract

The invention discloses a Zn-Sb-Bi thin film material used for a multi-state phase change memory, and a preparation method of the thin film material. The thin film material is characterized in that the thin film material is obtained from an elementary metal Bi target and a Zn<2>Sb<3> alloy target in a magnetron sputtering film coating system through dual-target co-sputtering; the thin film material has the chemical structural formula of (Zn<2>Sb<3>)<100-x>Bi<x>, wherein x is greater than or equal to 0 and less than 14, wherein the preferable phase change material Zn<2>Sb<3> and (Zn<2>Sb<3>)<96.8>Bi<3.2> have relatively high crystallization temperature, relatively high crystallization activation energy and relatively high retentivity of data of ten years; and compared with a three-state phase change memory material and the conventional three-state GST phase change material, the thin film material has the advantages of high crystallization temperature and high phase conversion temperature, higher crystalline state resistance and has three resistance states, while the other Zn-Sb-Bi thin film with higher Bi content represents four kinds of resistance states, so that higher multi-bit and multi-valued memory can be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of phase-change materials for information storage, and in particular relates to a Zn-Sb-Bi film material for multi-state phase-change memory and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Phase-change memory technology (PCM) is a technology in which the reflectivity / resistivity of phase-change materials can be reversibly changed between amorphous and crystalline states under the action of external light / electric pulses to achieve information storage. It is compatible with the existing integrated circuit semiconductor process (CMOS), and has a long cycle life (greater than 10 12 ), fast read / write speed (20 ns / 10 ns), and little environmental impact, it is widely used in phase change memory. Nowadays, device size reduction is becoming more and more complicated and difficult, and storing multiple data in one device unit is an effective method to increase storage density, so the research on multi-bit st...
