Abstract

The invention discloses a nano-composite ZnO-ZnSb phase-change storage thin film material and a preparation method thereof. The nano-composite ZnO-ZnSb phase-change storage thin film material is characterized in that the chemical structural formula of the material is (ZnSb)100-x(ZnO)x, 0<x<20. The preparation method of the material comprises the following steps: mounting a ZnO ceramic target material on a magnetron DC sputtering target; mounting a ZnSb alloy target material on a magnetron radio frequency sputtering target; vacuumizing a sputtering chamber of a magnetron sputtering coating system; then, inputting a high-purity argon gas into the sputtering chamber until the pressure of the sputtering chamber reaches luminance build-up pressure 0.30 Pa; then, fixing sputtering power of a ZnSb radio frequency target to be 35W, and adjusting and controlling the sputtering power of a ZnO DC target to be 3-21W; and carrying out dual target co-sputtering coating under the room temperature, and after sputtering thickness reaching 180 nm, obtaining a phase-change storage thin film material.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of phase change storage materials, in particular to a nano composite ZnO-ZnSb film material and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Chalcogenide thin film materials are widely used in electrical storage and optical data storage in DVDs. This chalcogenide film is similar to the glass it is made of, and it exhibits high infrared transmittance and high electrical resistance in an amorphous state. However, under the action of laser pulses or electric pulses, the chalcogenide film after crystallization exhibits considerable light reflectivity and conductivity. Due to its excellent performance such as high speed, high density, low power consumption, long life and good scalability, the chalcogenide film is most expected to be used as a storage medium in the next generation of non-volatile memory (PCM).
