Abstract

Provided are a Ge precursor for low temperature deposition containing Ge, N, and Si, a GST thin layer doped with N and Si formed using the same, a memory device including the GST thin layer doped with N and Si, and a method of manufacturing the GST thin layer. The Ge precursor for low temperature deposition contains N and Si such that the temperature at which the Ge precursor is deposited to form a thin layer, particularly, the GST thin layer doped with N and Si, can be low. In addition, during the low temperature deposition, H2 plasma can be used. The GST phase-change layer doped with N and Si formed from the Ge precursor for low temperature deposition has a low reset current. Therefore, a memory device including the GST phase-change layer doped with N and Si can be highly integrated, have a high capacity, and can be operated at a high speed.
