Investigation of Crystallization Behavior of Sputter-Deposited Nitrogen-Doped Amorphous Ge2Sb2Te5 Thin Films
View through CrossRef
The crystallization behavior of nitrogen-doped amorphous Ge2Sb2Te5-(N) phase-change thin films was studied by utilizing differential scanning calorimetry, in situ ellipsometry and in situ transmission electron microscopy. The combined analysis of in situ ellipsometry isotherms of amorphous Ge2Sb2Te5-(N) films and the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami equation revealed that the crystallization process of amorphous Ge2Sb2Te5-(N) films changes depending on the nitrogen content. The crystallization behavior of Ge2Sb2Te5 film revealed a two-step process that includes spherical-nucleation and disc-shaped grain growth. In contrast, nitrogen-doping into
Ge2Sb2Te5 thin films suppresses the second step and the crystallization of
Ge2Sb2Te5-(N) becomes a one-step process that is the primary nucleation process. The number of nucleation sites during the crystallization of amorphous Ge2Sb2Te5-(N) films, increased markedly with the annealing temperature in the spherically shaped nuclei and eventually saturated. The effective crystallinity of
Ge2Sb2Te5-(N) alloy films decreased with the increase in nitrogen content, mainly due to the grain-size refinement.
