摘要
Superlattice-like top electrode formed alternately by TiN and W was embedded into phase-change random access memory (PCRAM) with the aim of reducing the power. Ga2Sb4Te3 film is employed as phase change layer. The minimum reset voltage of PCRAM based on superlattice-like electrode was significantly lower than that of one based on the conventional electrode. The set operation can be completed by an electric pulse as short as 5 ns. The superlattice-like-electrode-based PCRAM can be normally operated at 120 degrees C with endurance up to 1 x 10(6) cycles. The low thermal conductivity of superlattice-like electrode is responsible for the performance improvement of PCRAM. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4751258]
