Abstract
ABSTRACTWe have investigated the interfacial contact properties of the CMOS compatible electrode materials W, TiW, Ta, TaN and TiN to doped-Sb2Te phase change material (PCM). This interface is characterized both in the amorphous and in the crystalline state of the doped-Sb2Te. The electrical nature of the interface is characterized by contact resistance measurements and is expressed in terms of specific interfacial contact resistance (ρC). These measurements are performed on four-terminal Kelvin Resistor test structures. Knowledge of the ρC is useful for selection of the electrode in the integration and optimization of the phase change memory cells.
