摘要
The phase-change characteristics of Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) films for phase-change random access memory (PCM) devices were improved by incorporating HfO2 into GST film using cosputtering at room temperature. Phase separation (GST-rich nanocrystals were surrounded by HfO2-rich amorphous phase) has been observed in annealed GST-HfO2 composite films and the segregated domains exhibited a relatively uniform size. The reduced reset voltage of GST-HfO2 based cell was due to the reduced programming volume by incorporating HfO2 into GST. This work clearly reveals the highly promising potential of GST-HfO2 composite films for application in PCM.
