dc.description.abstractThe superior performance of Zn-doped Sb₇Te₃ films might be favorable for the application in phase change memory. It was found that Zn dopants were able to suppress phase separation and form single stable Sb2Te crystal grain, diminish the grain size, and enhance the amorphous thermal stability of Sb₇Te₃ film. Especially, Zn 30.19(Sb₇Te₃)69.81 film has higher crystallization temperature (∼258 °C), larger crystallization activation energy (∼4.15 eV), better data retention (∼170.6 °C for 10 yr), wider band gap (∼0.73 eV), and higher crystalline resistance. The minimum times for crystallization of Zn 30.19(Sb₇Te₃)69.81 were revealed to be as short as ∼10 ns at a given proper laser power of 70 mW.
