Abstract

Comparing with Ge₂Sb₂Te₅, Al _1.3Sb₃Te is proved to be a promising candidate for phase-change memory use because of its higher crystallization temperature (∼210 °C), larger crystallization activation energy (3.32 eV), and better data retention ability (124 °C for 10 yr). Furthermore, Al _1.3Sb₃Te shows fast phase change speed and crystallizes into a uniformly embedded crystal structure. As short as 10 ns width, voltage pulse can realize reversible operations for Al_1.3Sb₃Te based phase-change memory cell. Moreover, phase-change memory cell based on Al_1.3Sb₃Te material also has good endurance (∼2.5 × 10⁴ cycles) and an enough resistance ratio of ∼10 ².
