摘要: A simple layered phase-change random access memory (PRAM) cell was fabricated using the In3Sb1Te2 alloy. The overall resistance value of reset state about 70 times larger than that set state. difference between amorphous and crystalline fairly well maintained after 102 cycles. Interestingly, measured current–voltage (I –V) curve showed three obvious steps in By means high temperature X-ray diffractometry (HTXRD) differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) experiments, we confirmed current originate from successive structural transformations ternary (© 2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
