摘要
Phase-change memory is regard as one of the most promising candidates for the next-generation nonvolatile memory. In this work, we proposed a Sb7Te3/ZnSb multilayer thin films to improve the thermal stability of Sb-rich Sb3Te7. The sheet resistance ratio between amorphous and crystalline states reached up to 4 orders of magnitude. With regard to the thermal stability, the calculated temperature for 10-year data retention is about 127 degrees C. The threshold current and threshold voltage of a cell based on Sb7Te3/ZnSb are 6.9 mu A and 1.9 V, respectively. The lower RESET power is presented in the PCM cells of Sb7Te3/ZnSb films, benefiting from its high resistivity. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
