| Abstract | In this paper, we investigate the impact of Sb and N doping in Se-rich GeSe based Ovonic Threshold Switching (OTS) selector devices, targeting crossbar memory applications. Through physico-chemical analysis and electrical characterization we demonstrate that Sb doping allows low threshold voltage switching operations, while N doping improves the OFF state resistance stability of Se-rich GeSe based selector devices. Thus, we are able to demonstrate an endurance up to 106 cycles, an ON/OFF current ratio of - 108 and reading selectivity of 104. These values are among the best reported in the literature for an OTS selector. The described material engineering makes Se-rich GeSe based materials suitable for Back-End of Line (BEOL) selector integrations, such as resistive memory crossbar arrays up to 1Mb. © 2017 IEEE. |
