摘要
The crystallization behavior of antimony (Sb)- excess Ge2Sb2+ xTe5 was examined. Sb-excess GST showed crystallization (T-C) and melting (T-M) temperatures of 205 and 550 degrees C, respectively, slightly higher TC and lower TM values than stoichiometric Ge2Sb2Te5 compounds. It also showed a substantially different crystallization behavior compared to the stoichiometric Ge2Sb2Te5 composition. The resulting Sb-excess GeSbTe thin film showed a grain growth dominated crystallization behavior. (c) 2006 The Electrochemical Society.
