Abstract

Sb70Se30/SiO2 multilayer thin films were applied to improve the thermal stability by RF magnetron sputtering on SiO2/Si (100) substrates. The characteristics of Sb70Se30/SiO2 multilayer thin films were investigated in terms of crystallization temperature, ten years of data retention, and energy bandgap. It is observed that the crystallization temperature, 10‐year data retention, and resistance of Sb70Se30/SiO2 multilayer composite thin films exhibited a higher value, suggesting that Sb70Se30/SiO2 multilayer composite thin films have superior thermal stability. The AFM measurement suggests that the SbSe (1 nm)/SiO (9 nm) multilayer thin films possess a smaller surface roughness (RMS = 0.23 nm). Besides, it was found that the phase‐change time of SbSe (1 nm)/SiO (9 nm) multilayer thin films was shorter than that of GST in the process of crystallization and amorphization.
