Paper Abstract

A novel phase change material, Si2Sb2Te3 has been reported to show good phase change abilities. Etching of this material is a critical step in the fabrication of phase change memory devices. In this paper, the characteristics of Si2Sb2Te3 etched in CF4/Ar atmosphere are investigated. The influence of the etching rate and surface roughness with different CF4/Ar ratio, pressure, and power are systematically studied. Furthermore, our X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy test results show that Te is the bottleneck to accelerating the etching rate.
