- Abstract
- To improve the reliability of a nanoscale (d=30 nm) ovonic threshold switching (OTS) selector, we report for the first time the effect of microwave annealing (MWA) on the electrical characteristics of an OTS device. The MWA-treated OTS device shows low initial forming voltage, excellent endurance (> 1011), and reduced threshold voltage (Vth) drift (- 67 %), while maintaining its great switching characteristics (Ioff = 0.8 nA at 1.1 V). Enhanced As-Te bonding probability after MWA, which was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, can explain low forming voltage and improved device reliability.
