摘要: The chemical state of N in N-doped amorphous Ge2Sb2Te5 (a-GST) samples with 0–14.3Nat.% doping concentrations was investigated by high-resolution x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HRXPS) and Ge K-edge absorption (XAS). HRXPS showed negligible change the Te 4d Sb core-level spectra. In 3d spectra, a nitride (GeNx) peak developed at binding energy 30.2eV increased intensity as N-doping concentration increased. Generation GeNx confirmed These results indicate that atoms bonded to form GeNx, rather than bonding or atoms. It has been suggested formation resistance phase-change temperature.
