研究目的
Investigating the phase change behavior and properties of Sn20Sb80/Si nano-composite multilayer thin films for phase change memory device applications.
研究成果
The Sn20Sb80/Si multilayer composite films exhibit improved thermal stability, higher crystallization temperature, and activation energy compared to monolayer Sn20Sb80 films. The addition of Si layers broadens the bandgap, inhibits crystallization, and results in smoother surfaces. These films also demonstrate fast phase change speeds, making them promising candidates for phase change memory applications.
研究不足
The study focuses on the phase change properties of Sn20Sb80/Si multilayer thin films but does not explore the integration of these films into actual phase change memory devices or their long-term stability under operational conditions.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the preparation of Sn20Sb80/Si multilayer thin films by magnetron sputtering at room temperature, using Sn20Sb80 and Si targets. The films were characterized by thermal, electrical, and optical methods to evaluate their phase change properties.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The substrates used were SiO2/Si (100), cleaned ultrasonically with acetone, ethanol, and deionized water. The films were prepared with varying thickness ratios of Sn20Sb80 to Si.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a magnetron sputtering system, TP94 temperature control system, UV-visible-NIR spectrophotometer, X-ray powder polycrystalline diffractometer (XRD), atomic force microscope (AFM), and a picosecond laser pump-probe test system.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The films were deposited under controlled conditions, followed by annealing and characterization using the aforementioned techniques to study their crystallization behavior, bandgap, surface morphology, and phase change speed.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data analysis involved resistance-temperature (R-T) measurements, Kubelka–Munk function for bandgap calculation, XRD for crystalline phase structure, AFM for surface roughness, and picosecond laser technique for phase change speed.
