Description
上述のイオン源層17Bに酸素を導入した効果を調べるために、図1に示した断面構造を有する記憶素子を作製した。下部電極14をW、層間絶縁膜15をSi3 N4 によりそれぞれ形成し、層間絶縁膜15の開口16を直径60nmの円形とした。この層間絶縁膜15の上部に、スパッタリング装置を用いて、高抵抗層17Bとして膜厚2nmのGdOx (酸化ガドリニウム)を成膜したのち、イオン源層17Bとして、Zr,TeおよびAlのモル比を16:44:40とし、膜厚45nmのZr16Te44Al40Ox 膜を形成した。このときアルゴン- 酸素濃度を様々に変化させて複数の膜を同時に成膜した。続いて、このイオン源層17B上に、上部電極18として膜厚20nmのZr膜、およびW膜を形成した後、パターニングした。
つきに、イオン源層17Bに導入する酸素濃度の適正値を調べるために、酸化膜シリコン基板上に下記の膜をArのスパッタにより成膜し、酸素濃度の異なる素子を作製した。なお、Zr16Te44Al40Ox 膜の成膜時の分圧は、Ar分圧を0.25Paとし、酸素分圧については、0Pa(O2 無)(比較例2),1×10-3Pa(O2 少)(実施例3),9.5×10-3Pa(O2 多)(実施例4)とし、3種類の試料を作製した。
