The statistical approach based on Kolmogorov's theory of metal solidification is used as the basis for a prediction of data retention time in phase change memory devices as a function of temperature of an active medium. We compared the results of theoretical simulation with the experimental results of isothermal annealing of Ge2Sb2Te5 thin films with various time and temperature regimes, and good agreement between the theoretical and experimental results was found.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
