Full textSemiconductor memory has always been an indispensable component of modern electronic systems. The increasing demand for highly scaled memory devices has led to the development of reliable non-volatile memories that are used in computing systems for permanent data storage and are capable of achieving high data rates, with the same or lower power dissipation levels as those of current advanced memory solutions.Among the emerging non-volatile memory technologies, Phase Change Memory (PCM) is the most promising candidate to replace conventional Flash memory technology. PCM offers a wide variety of features, such as fast read and write access, excellent scalability potential, baseline CMOS compatibility and exceptional high-temperature data retention and endurance performances, and can therefore pave the way for applications not only in memory devices, but also in energy demanding, high-performance computer systems. However, some reliability issues still need to be addressed in order for PCM to establish itself as a competitive Flash memory replacement.This work focuses on the study of embedded Phase Change Memory in order to optimize device performance and propose solutions to overcome the key bottlenecks of the technology, targeting high-temperature applications. In order to enhance the reliability of the technology, the stoichiometry of the phase change material was appropriately engineered and dopants were added, resulting in an optimized thermal stability of the device. A decrease in the programming speed of the memory technology was also reported, along with a residual resistivity drift of the low resistance state towards higher resistance values over time.A novel programming technique was introduced, thanks to which the programming speed of the devices was improved and, at the same time, the resistance drift phenomenon could be successfully addressed. Moreover, an algorithm for programming PCM devices to multiple bits per cell using a single-pulse procedure was also presented. A pulse generator dedicated to provide the desired voltage pulses at its output was designed and experimentally tested, fitting the programming demands of a wide variety of materials under study and enabling accurate programming targeting the performance optimization of the technology

Full textSecondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) is probably the most widely used chemical analysis technique in semiconductor science and metallurgy because of its ultimate sensitivity to all elements, especially the lighter ones. With systems downsizing, high-resolution 3D chemical imaging is becoming a prerequisite for the development of new materials. In this thesis, we report the development and optimization of an innovative SIMS implemented in a scanning electron microscope. The equipment makes it possible to obtain elementary chemical mapping at very high resolution (~25nm). The capacity of the technique is demonstrated with the characterization at the nanometric scale on the one hand of metallic superalloys necessary for the manufacture of aircraft engine parts and on the other hand of chalcogenide alloys used in the latest generation phase change memories developed in microelectronics

Full textThe Phase change Random Access Memories (PRAM), developed by semiconductor industry are based on rapid and reversible change from amorphous to crystalline stable phase of chalcogenide materials. The switching between the amorphous and the crystalline phase leads to change of the electrical resistance of material. The amorphous-to-crystalline transition is performed by heating the memory cell above the glass transition temperature (~130°C). The chalcogenide ternary compound glass Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST-225) is probably the candidate to become the most exploited material in the next generation of mass storage architectures. The Time Domain ThermoReflectance (TDTR) and the Modulated PhotoThermal Radiometry (MPTR) have been implemented to study the thermal properties of constituting element of PRAM deposited as thin layer (~100 nm) on silicon substrate. The thermal diffusivity and the Thermal Boundary Resistance of the PRAM film are retrieved. These parameters are identified using a model of heat transfer based on Fourier’s Law and the thermal impedance formalism. The measurements were performed in function of temperature from 25°C to 400°C. Structural and chemical changes due to the high temperature during the experimentation have been also investigated by using XRD, SEM, TOF-SIMS and ellipsometry techniques. The thermal properties of GST-225, insulator, heating and metallic electrode involved in these kind of storage devices were thus measured at a sub micrometric scale

Full textPhase-change memory (PCM) is arguably the most mature emerging nonvolatile memory, foreseen for the replacement of the mainstream NOR-Flash memory for the future embedded applications. To allow the design of new PCM-based products, SPICE simulations, thus compact models, are needed. Those models need to be fast, robust and accurate; nowadays, no published model is able to fill all these requirements.The goal of this thesis is to propose a new compact model of PCM, enabling PCM-based circuit design. The model that we have developed is entirely continuous, and is validated on a wide range of voltage, current, time and temperature. Built on physical insights of the device, a thermal runaway in the Poole-Frenkel mechanism is used to model the threshold switching of the amorphous phase. Besides, the introduction of a new variable representing the melted fraction, depending only on the internal temperature, along with a crystallization speed depending on the amorphous fraction, allow the accurate modeling of all the temporal dynamics of the phase transitions. Moreover, an optimized model card extraction flow is proposed following the model validation, relying on a sensibility analysis of the model card parameters and a simple set of electrical characterizations. It enables the adjustment of the model to any process variation, and thus ensures its accuracy for the design modeling at every step of the technology development

Full textThis thesis is devoted to the thermal characterization of molten materials, namely chalcogenide glass-type tellurium alloys, at the micrometer scale. An experimental setup of Photothermal Radiometry (PTR), formerly developed for solid state measurements, has been adapted for this purpose. Using MOCVD technique, a random lattice of sub-micrometric tellurium alloy structures is grown on a thermally oxidized silicon substrate. These structures are then embedded in a protective layer (silica or alumina) to prevent evaporation during melting. Measurements are then performed from room temperature up to 650°C. SEM and XRD measurements performed after annealing show that these samples withstand thermal stress only up to 300°C. The coating’s thermal boundary resistance is estimated by a heat transfer model based on the thermal impedance formalism. Moreover, the thermal conductivity and thermal boundary resistance of thin amorphous alumina by low temperature ALD are measured from the room temperature to 600°C

Full textMemories have gained a lot of influence through these last years and are present in all electronic systems used in our daily life. To address the limitations of the traditional memory technologies, many industries are dedicating their researches to the development of the Phase-Change Memories (PCM). This emerging technology mainly uses the properties of a Ge-Sb-Te based-chalcogenide alloy (GST). The memory characteristics may change according to the GST chemical composition. This is a critical point to carefully consider for the manufacturing process of the component. Indeed, it is crucial to preserve as much as possible the GST integrity all along the patterning steps of the memory cell in order to preserve the device performances.This thesis work aims at understanding the material – environment interactions likely to impact the GST chemical stability and propose some improvements to the processes that are detrimental for the material. Firstly, we have focused on the plasma etching effects on the GST alloy through the comparative study of three halogen chemistries, HBr, Cl2 et CF4. Thanks to the complementary results from XPS, PP-TOFMS and AFM measurements, the HBr chemistry was identified as the best etching strategy for limiting damages at the GST surface. Secondly, we have investigated the GST interactions with the different environments implemented during the subsequent fabrication processes. The GST exposition to an oxidizing environment (O2 based-plasma or air) induces a critical oxidation damaging the phase-change properties. Besides, the chemical treatment used to clean the PCM sidewalls removes selectively the GST oxide and, consequently, can modify the memory cell morphology. To prevent these effects, several plasma solutions are suggested in order to maintain the chemical stability of the GST material during the PCM patterning process. In particular, knowing the benefits of a CH4 plasma, we propose to either integrate it into a passivating etching process or to use it as a precursor promoting a protection layer. The development of an alternative etching chemistry in H2-N2-Ar has also been discussed and opens an interesting perspective

Full textPhase change random access memories PCRAM are based on the fast and reversible switch between the high resistive amorphous state and the low resistive crystalline state of a phase change material (PCM). These memories are considered to be one of the most promising candidates for the next generation of non volatile memories thanks to their unique set of features such as fast programming speed, multi-level storage capability, good endurance and high scalability. However, high power consumption during the RESET operation (IRESET) is the main challenge that PCRAM has to face in order to explode the non volatile memory market. In this context, it has been demonstrated that by integrating the phase change material (PCM) in high aspect ratio lithographic structures, the heating efficiency is improved leading to a reduced reset current. In order to fill such confined structures with the phase change material, a highly conformal deposition process is required. Therefore, a pulsed liquid injection Plasma Enhanced-Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition process (PE-MOCVD) was developed in this work. First, amorphous and homogeneous GeTe films were deposited using the organometallic precursors TDMAGe and DIPTe as Ge and Te precursors. XPS measurements revealed a stoichiometric composition of GeTe but with high carbon contamination. Thus, one of the objectives of this work was to reduce the carbon contamination and to optimize the phase change properties of the deposited PCMs. The effect of deposition parameters such as plasma power, pressure and gas rate on the carbon contamination is then presented. By tuning and optimizing deposition parameters, GeTe films with carbon level as low at 2 at. % were obtained. Thereafter, homogeneous films of GeSbTe were deposited by injecting simultaneously the organometallic precursors TDMAGe, TDMASb and DiPTe in the plasma. A wide range of compositions was obtained by varying the injection and deposition operating parameters. Indeed, one of the main advantages of this process is the ability of varying films composition, which results in varying phase change characteristics of the deposited PCM. The impact of plasma parameters on the conformity of the process was also studied. It was shown that by adding a low frequency power component to the radio frequency power of the plasma, structures with high aspect ratio were successfully filled with the phase change material. Finally, electrical characterization of PCRAM test devices integrating phase change materials deposited by PE-MOCVD as active material have presented electrical properties similar to the ones obtained for materials deposited by conventional physical vapor deposition (PVD) process

Full textThe human brain is made of a large number of interconnected neural networks which are composed of neurons and synapses. With a low power consumption of only few Watts, the human brain is able to perform computational tasks that are out of reach for today’s computers, which are based on the Von Neumann architecture. Neuromorphic hardware design, taking inspiration from the human brain, aims to implement the next generation, non-Von Neumann computing systems. In this thesis, emerging non-volatile memory devices, specifically Phase-Change Memory (PCM) and Oxide-based resistive memory (OxRAM) devices, are studied as artificial synapses in neuromorphic systems. The use of PCM devices as binary probabilistic synapses is studied for complex visual pattern extraction applications, evaluating the impact of the PCM programming conditions on the system-level power consumption.A programming strategy is proposed to mitigate the impact of PCM resistance drift. It is shown that, using scaled devices, it is possible to reduce the synaptic power consumption. The OxRAM resistance variability is evaluated experimentally through electrical characterization, gathering statistics on both single memory cells and at array level. A model that allows to reproduce OxRAM variability from low to high resistance state is developed. An OxRAM-based convolutional neural network architecture is then proposed on the basis of this experimental work. By implementing the computation of convolution directly in memory, the Von Neumann bottleneck is avoided. Robustness to OxRAM variability is demonstrated with complex visual pattern recognition tasks such as handwritten characters and traffic signs recognition

Full textPhase change memories (PCM) are typically based on compounds of the Ge-Sb-Te (GST) ternary system. Nevertheless, a major drawback of PCM devices is the failure to fulfill automotive-level or military-grade requirements (125°C continuous operation), due to the low crystallization temperature of GST. To overcome this limitation, alloys belonging to the In-Sb-Te (IST) system have been proposed, which have demonstrated high crystallization temperature, and fast switching. Thermal properties of the chalcogenide alloy and of its interfaces within the PCM cell can influence the programming current, reliability and optimized scaling of PCM devices. The two methods, namely: 3ω and Modulated Photothermal Radiometry (MPTR) technique was implemented to measure the thermal conductivity of IST thin films as well as the thermal boundary resistance at the interface with other surrounding materials (a metal and a dielectric). The experiment was carried outin situ from room temperature up to 550oC in order to investigate the intrinsic thermal properties at different temperatures and the significant structural rearrangement upon the phase transition.The results obtained from the two thermal characterization techniques demonstrate that the thermal conductivity of IST decreases when increasing the Te content. Increasing the Te content could thus lead to a more thermally resistive alloy, which is expected to bring the advantage of a more confined heat flow and limiting the thermal cross-talk in the phase change memory device

Full textPhase change memory (PCM) is part of the strategy to develop non-volatiles memories embedded in advanced technology nodes (sub 28nm). Indeed, Flash-NOR memory is becoming more and more expensive to integrate in technologies with high permittivity dielectrics and metallic gates. The main objective of this thesis is therefore to realize tests vehicles in order to study an innovative PCM + OTS memory point and to propose solutions to fill its gaps and limitations according to the envisaged applications. The study is based on two different technologies: HCMOS9A and P28FDSOI. The first one is used as support for the development of a technological validation vehicle of the OTS+PCM memory point. The second one is used to demonstrate the surface obtained with an aggressive sizing of the memory point. Finally, an optimized readout circuit for this memory point has been realized allowing the compensation of leakage currents as well as the regulation of the bias voltages of the matrix during the reading

Full textCe travail de thèse est dédié à l'analyse des mécanismes de déformation des AMF NiTi. Les comportements homogènes et localisés ont été étudiés en fonction des géométries d'échantillons, des types de sollicitations et des conditions d'essais. L'originalité de cette étude est d'utiliser deux méthodes de mesures de champs : (i) la corrélation d'images afin d'obtenir les champs cinématiques et d'observer les localisations de déformation ; (ii) la thermographie infrarouge pour mesurer les champs de température et analyser les phénomènes de changement de phase. Afin d'utiliser ces techniques simultanément, des outils de recalage spatial et temporel des données ainsi que des techniques d'estimation de sources de chaleur ont été développés. Lors d'essais superélastiques, cette étude a permis d'une part de mettre en évidence la présence de changement(s) de phase homogène en début de charge et de décharge, d'autre part de caractériser de manière quantitative les différentes morphologies de localisation. Les outils développés sont une première tentative pour disposer, à l'issue de ce travail, d'une DSC locale sous chargements mécaniques.
