Abstract: | We fabricated and analyzed the chemical states of carbon-doped (5.2–13.2 at.%) Ge2Sb2Te5 thin films on Si substrates using high-resolution, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation. Thin films were completely amorphous and their phase-change temperature was 150 °C higher than for un-doped GST. As the carbon doping concentration increased, new chemical states of Ge 3d with 29.9 eV and C 1s with 283.7 eV core-levels were observed. The doped carbon was bonded only with Ge in GST and doping was saturated at 8.7 at.%. |
