    Abstract: The disclosure belongs to the field of microelectronics, and specifically, relates to a method of inducing crystallization of a chalcogenide phase-change material and application thereof. To be specific, a dielectric material is brought into contact with an interface of the chalcogenide phase-change material. The dielectric material is in an octahedral configuration, and the dielectric material provides a crystal nucleus growth center for the crystallization of the chalcogenide phase-change material at the interface between the two, so as to induce the phase-change material to accelerate the crystallization. The method is further applied in a phase-change memory cell. Among all the dielectric material layers in contact with the chalcogenide phase-change material layer, the dielectric material structure of at least one side of the dielectric material layer is an octahedral configuration.

    Abstract: The invention discloses a three-dimensional 1S1C memory based on a ring capacitor and a preparation method. The memory includes: a horizontal peripheral electrode layer including a first dielectric layer and a first metal electrode layer alternately stacked and grown on a substrate and provided with trenches penetrating in a vertical direction and holes penetrating in the vertical direction, a vertical functional layer, and a capacitive dielectric layer. An annular groove is disposed outside each hole. The annular groove surrounds the holes and vertically cuts off the peripheral electrode layer. The annular groove is evenly filled with a capacitive dielectric layer. A top of the second metal electrode layer is extended to a surface of a topmost first dielectric layer to form a bit line electrode and is connected to a bit line. A region where the second metal electrode layer faces the first metal electrode layer forms a memory cell.

    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a three-dimensional (3D) convolution operation device and method based on a 3D phase change memory, which includes a 3D phase change memory, an input control module, a setting module, and an output control module. By using the 3D phase change memory to perform 3D convolution operation, the phase change units on the same bit line constitute a convolution kernel. Based on the multilayer stack structure, the upper and lower electrodes of the 3D phase change memory serve as the information input terminal, and they are convolved after passing through the respective phase change unit arrays, and the result of the convolution operation is superposed on the middle electrode in the form of current, thereby obtaining the sum of the convolution calculation results of the input information of the upper and lower electrodes, such that the 3D convolution operation is completed in one step.

    Abstract: Disclosed are an OTS-based dynamic storage structure and an operation method thereof. The OTS-based dynamic storage structure includes a plurality of storage units distributed in an array, and each storage unit includes an OTS gating transistor and a storage capacitor. The OTS gating transistor has two states, namely, high resistance state and low resistance state. When the voltage across the OTS gating transistor exceeds the threshold voltage Vth, the OTS gating transistor is switched from the high resistance state to the low resistance state. When the voltage across the OTS gating transistor in the low resistance state is lower than the holding voltage Vhold, the OTS gating transistor is switched from the low resistance state to the high resistance state.
