    摘要: The present invention discloses a method to achieve grading PCMO thin film for use in RRAM memory devices since the contents of Ca, Mn and Pr in a PCMO film can have great influence on its switching property. By choosing precursors for Pr, Ca and Mn having different deposition rate behaviors with respect to deposition temperature or vaporizer temperature, PCMO thin film of grading Pr, Ca or Mn distribution can be achieved by varying that process condition during deposition. The present invention can also be broadly applied to the fabrication of any multicomponent grading thin film process by varying any of the deposition parameters after preparing multiple precursors to have different deposition rate behaviors with respect to that particular process parameter. The present invention starts with a proper selection of precursors in which the selected precursors have different deposition rates with respect to at least one deposition condition such as deposition temperature or vaporizer temperature. The precursors can then be arranged in different delivery systems, or can be pre-mixed in a proper ratio for use in a delivery system, or in any other combinations such as a mixture of two or three liquid precursors using a direct liquid injection and a separate gaseous precursor delivery system for gaseous process gas. Then by varying the appropriate deposition condition, a grading thin film can be achieved.

    摘要: A multi-layer PrxCa1-xMnO3 (PCMO) thin film capacitor and associated deposition method are provided for forming a bipolar switching thin film. The method comprises: forming a bottom electrode; depositing a nanocrystalline PCMO layer; depositing a polycrystalline PCMO layer; forming a multi-layer PCMO film with bipolar switching properties; and forming top electrode overlying the PCMO film. If the polycrystalline layers are deposited overlying the nanocrystalline layers, a high resistance can be written with narrow pulse width, negative voltage pulses. The PCMO film can be reset to a low resistance using a narrow pulse width, positive amplitude pulse. Likewise, if the nanocrystalline layers are deposited overlying the polycrystalline layers, a high resistance can be written with narrow pulse width, positive voltage pulses, and reset to a low resistance using a narrow pulse width, negative amplitude pulse.
