A novel memory cell for phase-change memories (PCMs) that enables low-power operation has been developed. Power (i.e., current and voltage) for the cell is significantly reduced by inserting a very thin Ta2O5 film between GeSbTe (GST) and a W plug. The Ta2O5 interfacial layer works not only as a heat insulator enabling effective heat generation in GST but also as an adhesion layer between GST and...
An ultra-thin phase-change bridge (PCB) memory cell, implemented with doped GeSb, is shown with < 100muA RESET current. The device concept provides for simplified scaling to small cross-sectional area (60nm2) through ultra-thin (3nm) films; the doped GeSb phase-change material offers the potential for both fast crystallization and good data retention
During the phase-change process of Ge2Sb2Te 5 in PRAM (phase-change random access memory), phase-change dynamics are strongly dependent on the quenching speed, i.e. the cooling speed of melted phase-change material. Here the paper reports the relation between quenching speed of programming pulse and phases of Ge 2Sb2Te5 in phase-change memory in detail. The existence of critical quenching speed is...
The conduction mechanisms in chalcogenide materials for phase-change memory (PCM) applications are studied. A trap-limited transport model for sub-threshold conduction in the amorphous chalcogenide is presented, and extended to threshold switching in the amorphous phase and transport in the highly-conductive crystalline phase, providing a fully-comprehensive, analytical model for PCMs. Finally, a...
