摘要
The potential for using probe-based phase-change memories for the future archival storage at densities of around 1 Tbit/in.(2) is investigated using a recording medium comprising a Si/TiN/DLC/GeSbTe/diamond-like carbon (DLC) stack together with a conductive PtSi tip for writing and reading. Both experimental and computational simulation results are presented. The simulations include a physically-realistic threshold switching model, as well as the effects of thermal boundary resistance and electrical contact resistance. The simulated bit size and shape correspond closely to that written experimentally. (C) 2011 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
