    摘要: On an insulating film (41) in which a plug (43) as a lower electrode is embedded, a laminated layer pattern of an insulating film (51) made of tantalum oxide, a recording layer (52) made of Ge—Sb—Te based chalcogenide to which indium is introduced and an upper electrode film (53) made of tungsten or tungsten alloy is formed, thereby forming a phase change memory. By interposing the insulating film (51) between the recording layer (52) and the plug (43), an effect of reducing programming current of a phase change memory and an effect of preventing peeling of the recording layer (52) can be achieved. Further, by using the Ge—Sb—Te based chalcogenide to which indium is introduced as the recording layer (52), the difference in work function between the insulating film (51) and the recording layer (52) is increased, and the programming voltage of the phase change memory can be reduced.

    摘要: A recording layer 52 made of a chalcogenide material which stores a high-resistance state of a high electrical resistance value and a low-resistance state of a low electrical resistance value is used as a memory element RM in a memory cell region, and it is formed so that a concentration of Ga or In of a first layer 52a positioned on a lower electrode TP side of the recording layer 52 is higher than the corresponding concentration of a second layer 52b positioned on an upper electrode 53 side. For example, the recording layer is formed so that a content of Ga or In of the second layer is 5 atomic % or more smaller than that of the first layer. Also, a circuit which can reverse the voltage polarity between the upper electrode and the lower electrode in a set operation and a reset operation is provided.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a phase change memory semiconductor integrated circuit device using a chalcogenide film that solves a problem that the operation temperature capable of ensuring long time memory retention is low due to low phase change temperature is and, at the same time, a problem that power consumption of the device is high since a large current requires to rewrite memory information due to low resistance. A portion of constituent elements for a chalcogenide comprises nitride, oxide or carbide which are formed to the boundary between the chalcogenide film and a metal plug as an underlying electrode and to the grain boundary of chalcogenide crystals thereby increasing the phase change temperature and high Joule heat can be generated even by a small current by increasing the resistance of the film.
