Abstract
A wide band-gap phase change material Si 2Sb 2Te 5 for chalcogenide random access memory application was investigated. The material possesses a low threshold current from amorphous to polycrystalline state in voltage–current measurement, and shows a good data retention. Band-gap width of the amorphous and polycrystalline Si 2Sb 2Te 5 are determined to be 0.89 and 0.62 eV by means of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. Chalcogenide random access memory device with bottom electrode contact of 260 nm in diameter was fabricated and characterized. With a 50 ns width voltage pulse, RESET and SET voltage values of 3.2 and 1.4 V were achieved.
