  • Abstract
    This paper discusses several key items needed to be considered for phase change random access memory applications from material selection points of view, which include data retention, write speed, cycling endurance, and fabrication process. Various characterization skills were used to probe the properties of the materials, which help to evaluate the feasibility for applying them in future products.
