Electrical phase change of CVD-grown Ge-Sb-Te thin film device
Electrical phase change of CVD-grown Ge-Sb-Te thin film device
A prototype Ge-Sb-Te thin film phase-change memory device has been fabricated and reversible threshold and phase change switching demonstrated electrically, with a threshold voltage of 1.5 – 1.7 V. The Ge-Sb-Te thin film was fabricated by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) at atmospheric pressure using GeCl4, SbCl5, and Te precursors with reactive gas H2 at reaction temperature 780 °C and substrate temperature 250 °C. The surface morphology and composition of the CVD-grown Ge-Sb-Te thin film has been characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). The CVD-grown Ge-Sb-Te thin film shows promise for the phase change memory applications.

Abstract

A prototype Ge-Sb-Te thin film phase-change memory device has been fabricated and reversible threshold and phase change switching demonstrated electrically, with a threshold voltage of 1.5 – 1.7 V. The Ge-Sb-Te thin film was fabricated by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) at atmospheric pressure using GeCl4, SbCl5, and Te precursors with reactive gas H2 at reaction temperature 780 °C and substrate temperature 250 °C. The surface morphology and composition of the CVD-grown Ge-Sb-Te thin film has been characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). The CVD-grown Ge-Sb-Te thin film shows promise for the phase change memory applications.
