Fabrication and Characterization of of Nanoscale Tellurium Fuses for Long Term Solid State Data Storage

Pearson A.C., Singh B., Linford M.R., Lunt B.M., Davis R.C., Brigham Young University, US

We have fabricated nanoscale tellurium fuses using electron beam lithography for long term data storage applications. The tellurium fuses contain a narrow resistive region(250 nm to 10 micron). Application of a sufficiently high voltage accross [...]

Integrated phase-Change memory in Bi2Te3 nanowires

Han N.A., Kim S.I., Yang J.D., Lee K., Sohn H., So H-M, Sohn H., Ahn C.W., Yoo K.H., Yonsei University, KR

Bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) and its alloys are considered to be the best avaiable materials for near room-temperature thermoelectric applications. Moreover, because low-dimensional thermoelectric materials are expected to have a higher figure of merit due to [...]
