Optical Properties of Ge40Sb10Te50Bx (x = 0–2) Films

Abstract: Phase-change optical recording media of the base composition Ge40Sb10Te50 with or without boron doping (0.3–1.1 at.%) were prepared by rf sputtering on Si(100) substrate at a film thickness 100 nm. Crystalline state was obtained by subsequent annealing at 300°C for 10 min. The structure study of crystallized films showed that lattice parameter of the fcc Ge40Sb10Te50 phase increases slightly with B doping. Crystallization temperature increases manifestly with minor B addition (10°C at 0… Show more

“…The refractive index of the films decreases with increase in thickness with the wavelength in the visible region [26]. This may be due to the transformation of the film from the amorphous to crystalline state [27], which is in good agreement with the structural studies of these films.…”

“…The chemical modification approach proposed by Young et al (1986) could possibly be adopted to meet the requirements. The elements Bi, Sn and In are considered as dopants to tailor the crystallization speed of GST (Lee et al 1999;Wang et al 2004a, b;Akiyama et al 2001; Kojima and Yamada 2001;Lee et al 2002;Wang et al 2005). The stoichiometric compounds modified by dopants might pave a new avenue to tailor phase change materials towards suitable performance.…”

“…Current research primarily focuses on the ferroelectric, optical, and structural properties of Ge 4 SbTe 5 , but no studies on the thermal and electrical properties have been conducted thus far. 10,11 These materials offer a Pb-free alternative to traditional PbTe-based thermoelectrics and in a more general sense suggests that phase change materials, as a class, may provide a promising new route to high-efficiency thermoelectric materials.…”
