Problems solved by technology

However, the biggest weakness of the Sb-Te system is that the crystallization activation energy is small, which makes its amorphous state have poor thermal stability, which greatly limits the application and development of the Sb-Te system in the direction of high data retention.
Therefore, in the actual industrial mass production process, the applicability of the Sb-Te material system is improved by element doping, but the existing element doping modification often cannot meet the performance requirements of phase change materials in the field.

Abstract

The invention provides a phase change memory V-Sb-Te phase change material system and a preparing method thereof. The V-Sb-Te phase change material system is formed by doping V on the basis of an Sb-Te phase change material system and is of a chemical general form as V<100-x-y>Sb<x>Te<y>, wherein 0.5= / <x / y< / =4 and 50< / =x+y< / =99.99. The V-Sb-Te phase change material system has high phase change speed, low operating consumption, excellent data holding capacity and phase stability and can expand application range of the Sb-Te phase change material system greatly. Meanwhile, the element V has an effect of greatly reducing grain size of the Sb-Te material system to improve the scalability thereof, so that volume rate of change of the material before and after phase change is reduced and fatigue resistance thereof is improved. In addition, the element V is compatible with the Sb-Te phase change material system well, so that the overall V-Sb-Te phase change material is uniform in phase.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a phase-change material and a preparation method, in particular to a V-Sb-Te phase-change material system used in a phase-change memory and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Phase-change memory is an emerging non-volatile storage technology. Its better data retention, faster data read and write speed, and higher cycle times have become a strong competitor for the next generation of mainstream memory. The core of phase-change memory is phase-change material, which utilizes the transformation of phase-change material between amorphous and polycrystalline states to realize optical or electrical storage. According to different crystallization degrees of phase change materials, phase change memory can realize two-level and multi-level storage. Moreover, compared with the current mainstream charge storage devices on the market, phase change memory has better scale shrinkage characteristics, which is conduci...
