ABSTRACT |
In this research, properties of $N_2$-doped $Sb_2Te_3$ thin film were evaluated using 4-point probe, XRD and AFM. $Sb_2Te_3$ material has faster crystallization rate than $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$, but sheet resistance difference between amorphous and crystallization state is very low. This low sheet resistance difference decreases sensing margin in reading operation at PRAM device operation. Therefore, in order to overcome this weak point, $N_2$ gas was doped on $Sb_2Te_3$ thin film. Sheet resistance difference between amorphous and crystallized state of $N_2$-doped $Sb_2Te_3$ thin film showed about $10^4$ times higher than Un-doped $Sb_2Te_3$ thin film because of the grain boundary scattering. |
