Nanometer-scale temperature imaging for independent observation of Joule and Peltier effects in phase change memory devices.
This paper reports a technique for independent observation of nanometer-scale Joule heating and thermoelectric effects, using atomic force microscopy (AFM) based measurements of nanometer-scale temperature fields. When electrical current flows through nanoscale devices and contacts the temperature distribution is governed by both Joule and thermoelectric effects. When the device is driven by an...

متن کاملElectrical phase change of Ga:La:S:Cu films
Ga:La:S:Cu films have been prepared by sputter deposition. Amorphous thin films were fabricated with Cu concentrations as high as 66 at.%. The electrical phase change properties of these films have been investigated. The electrical resistivity of these materials is 200 Om in the amorphous state and 40 Om in the crystalline state. The crystallisation time was measured using an optical pump probe...
متن کاملMulti-level storage in phase-change memory: from multi-layer to single layer
ABSTRACT In this paper, we report multi-level storage (MLS) in multi-layer (ML) and single-layer (SL) phase-change memories (PCM). For the former ML-PCM device, the active medium with two layers of chalcogenide consists of a top 30-nm TiN/180-nm SbTeN/20-nm TiN/bottom 120-nm SbTeN stacked multi-layer. Three stable and distinct resistance states are demonstrated in both static and dynamic switch...
متن کاملSimultaneous Thermal Imaging of Peltier and Joule Effects
We present a novel thermoreflectance technique to visualise quasi-static Peltier and Joule thermal distributions simultaneously, enabling side-by-side comparison in situ. The main principle is an extension of so called ’-bucket’ imaging techniques well documented in the literature. The method is particularly advantageous in improving both the reliability and turnaround time for the characteris...
