Abstract

Al doped Sb ₂ Te ₃ material was proposed to improve the performance of phase-change memory. Crystallization temperature, activation energy, and electrical resistance of the Al doped Sb ₂ Te ₃ films increase markedly with the increasing of Al concentration. The additional Al-Sb and Al-Te bonds enhance the amorphous thermal stability of the material. Al _0.69 Sb ₂ Te ₃ material has a better data retention (10 years at 110 °C) than that of Ge ₂ Sb ₂ Te ₅ material (10 years at 87 °C). With a 100 ns width voltage pulse, SET and RESET voltages of 1.3 and 3.3 V are achieved for the Al _0.69 Sb ₂ Te ₃ based device.
