Crystallization of Ge:Sb:Te Thin Films for Phase Change Memory Application
Chalcogenide glasses are a chemical compound consisting of at least one chalcogen element, sulphur, selenium, or tellurium, in combination with other elements. These glasses obtained great attention after discovery between 1962 and 1969 by Kolomiets, Eaton, Ovshinsky and Pearson of the S-shape current-voltage characteristic in chalcogenide glasses and the switching phenomenon from high to low r...
متن کاملPhase-Change Memory Properties of Electrodeposited Ge-Sb-Te Thin Film
We report the properties of a series of electrodeposited Ge-Sb-Te alloys with various compositions. It is shown that the Sb/Ge ratio can be varied in a controlled way by changing the electrodeposition potential. This method opens up the prospect of depositing Ge-Sb-Te super-lattice structures by electrodeposition. Material and electrical characteristics of various compositions have been investi...
متن کاملAluminum-induced Crystallization of Semiconductor Thin Films
Thin film materials of the semiconductors, such as silicon (Si), germanium (Ge) or their alloys, are turning into the most promising functional materials in the energy technology. However, the morphologies of these semiconductor thin films must be varied to be suitable for the different applications, e.g. a large-grained layer as the seed layer of thin film solar cells, a porous structure for a...

متن کاملGrowth rate determination through automated TEM image analysis: crystallization studies of doped SbTe phase-change thin films.
A computer-controlled procedure is outlined here that first determines the position of the amorphous-crystalline interface in an image. Subsequently, from a time series of these images, the velocity of the crystal growth front is quantified. The procedure presented here can be useful for a wide range of applications, and we apply the new approach to determine growth rates in a so-called fast-gr...
