Abstract :
Phase-change memory (PCM) cells on a single carbon nanotube field-effect transistor (CNFET) are demonstrated toward the realization of the 1TnR array architecture. The use of CNFET as one-dimensional selector, which exhibits ultra-low leakage (<; 1 pA) and large ON/OFF ratio (> 106) at high current densities, enables the cost-effective PCM cell to operate with a wide voltage margin in large 2D arrays. Uniform electrical characteristics of PCM cells over 100 cycles are obtained with the ON/OFF ratio of ~ 100 and the low SET/RESET currents of <; 1 μA.
