    摘要: A phase change memory cell with a single element phase change thin film layer; and a first electrode and a second electrode coupled to the single element phase change thin film layer. A current flows from the first electrode to the single element phase change thin film layer, and through to the second electrode. The single element phase change thin film layer includes a single element phase change material. The single element phase change thin film layer can be less than 5 nanometers thick. The temperature of crystallization of the single element phase change material can be controlled by its thickness. In one embodiment, the single element phase change thin film layer is configured to be amorphous at room temperature (25 degrees Celsius). In one embodiment, the single element phase change thin film layer is comprised of Antimony (Sb).

    摘要: A layer of phase change material with silicon or another semiconductor, or a silicon-based or other semiconductor-based additive, is formed using a composite sputter target including the silicon or other semiconductor, and the phase change material. The concentration of silicon or other semiconductor is more than five times greater than the specified concentration of silicon or other semiconductor in the layer being formed. For silicon-based additive in GST-type phase change materials, sputter target may comprise more than 40 at % silicon. Silicon-based or other semiconductor-based additives can be formed using the composite sputter target with a flow of reactive gases, such as oxygen or nitrogen, in the sputter chamber during the deposition.
