Abstract

See full text

A memory device is described using a composite doped phase change material between a first electrode and a second electrode. A memory element of phase change material, such as a chalcogenide, is between the first and second electrodes and has an active region. The phase change material has a first dopant, such as silicon oxide, characterized by tending to segregate from the phase change material on grain boundaries in the active region, and has a second dopant, such as silicon, characterized by causing an increase in recrystallization temperature of, and/or suppressing void formation in, the phase change material in the active region.
