Problems solved by technology

However, these materials still have some disadvantages
For example, the Ga-Sb film has a higher melting point temperature and a smaller resistance ratio between the amorphous and crystalline states, which will result in greater energy consumption and poorer switching ratios.
While Mg-Sb thin films have low crystallization temperature and are prone to phase separation, which will lead to poor thermal stability and short data retention time

Abstract

The invention discloses an environment-friendly Zn-Sb phase change storage thin-film material and a manufacturing method of the environment-friendly Zn-Sb phase change storage thin-film material. The environment-friendly Zn-Sb phase change storage thin-film material is characterized in that the chemical structural formula of the material is ZnxSb(100-x), and x is larger than 0 but smaller than 60. The manufacturing method comprises the steps of installing an elemental Sb or Zn target material in a magnetic control direct current sputtering target, installing a ZnSb alloy target material in a magnetic control radio frequency sputtering target, vacuumizing a sputtering chamber until the vacuum degree is 2.0*10<-4>Pa, feeding high-purity argon of 50ml / min into the sputtering chamber until the air pressure reaches 0.35Pa, controlling the sputtering power of the ZnSb alloy target material to be 20-50W, controlling the sputtering power of the elemental Sb or Zn target material to be 0-40W, and obtaining the finished environment-friendly Zn-Sb phase change storage thin-film material after the target materials sputter for 5 minutes at the room temperature. The environment-friendly Zn-Sb phase change storage thin-film material and the manufacturing method of the environment-friendly Zn-Sb phase change storage thin-film material have the advantages that the crystallization temperature is high, the phase change speed is high, the switch ratio is large, data retentivity is good, stability is high, and power consumption is small.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of phase change materials, in particular to an environment-friendly Zn-Sb phase change storage film material and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Phase Change Random Access Memory (PRAM), also known as Ovshinsky Electric Effect Unified Memory, is based on the Ovshinsky Electric Effect memory proposed by American Ovshinsky in the late 1960s. The storage media of this type of memory are many Mainly chalcogenides, which are induced by electric heat or light heat, have a reversible phase transition process from amorphous state to crystalline state, and the accompanying huge resistance or refractive index difference is sufficient to meet the requirements of memory applications. In the research and development of PRAM, the phase change material as a storage medium is the core of pulse code modulation (PCM), and its performance optimization is crucial to improving the performance of PRAM ...
