“…Phase change random access memory (PCRAM) has attracted great interest as a candidate for next generation non-volatile devices with the meet of increasing need for high density, low power consumption, and fast switching speed with CMOS logic process. 1,2 Reversible phase change between the amorphous (high resistance, RESET state) and crystalline (low resistance, SET state) of phase change material is basic operation principle in PCRAM. Ternary compound of Ge, Sb, and Te, especially Ge 2 Sb 2 Te 5 (GST225) has been widely investigated and accepted as a phase change material for the realization of PCRAM device.…”
