Embodiment 1

[0021] A double-target magnetron co-sputtering method is used to prepare the Ge-W-N heating electrode material. Prepare two independent pure components of Ge target and W target, the purity of the target is greater than 99.99% (atomic percentage), and then adopt the dual-target magnetron co-sputtering method, and pass high purity in the co-sputtering process. Ar gas and N 2 The specific process parameters are as follows: Ge target uses a radio frequency power supply with a power of 200W; W target uses a DC power supply with a power of 100W; sputtering pressure is 0.2Pa; sputtering time is 10min; by changing Ar and N 2 The flow rate ratio can be adjusted to the film preparation rate ( figure 1 ) And sheet resistance ( figure 2 ). By right figure 1 with 2 After analysis, Ar / N 2 When the ratio is 1, the resistance of the film is too high, much higher than the resistance of the crystalline phase change material in the phase change memory, and is close to the resistance of the amorp...

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a heating electrode material that can be used in a phase change memory and a preparation method, and more specifically, to a composition design and preparation method of a Ge-based heating electrode material. The Ge-based heating electrode material has good adhesion and resistance to the phase change material. High advantages, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the device and reducing the power consumption of the device, belonging to the field of microelectronics technology. Background technique [0002] Phase change memory technology is based on Ovshinsky's proposal in the late 1960s (Phys. Rev. Lett., 21, 1450 ~ 1453, 1968) and early 1970s (Appl. Phys. Lett., 18, 254 ~ 257, 1971) The idea that the phase change film can be applied to the phase change storage medium is established, and it is a low-cost, stable performance storage device. Phase change memory can be made on a silicon wafer substrate, and its key materials are...
