Abstract
This article presents an application of ordered mesoporous films to phase-change memory (PCM). Though ordered mesoporous SiO 2 films have attracted attention due to their regular arrangement of nanometer-sized pores, they have not yet become an integral component in any application and have not been produced in a practical manner. Also, even though PCMs are potential next-generation memory devices, they have not made large market due to high power consumption, heat interference, and other shortcomings. In this work, ordered mesoporous SiO 2 films were applied to an interlayer dielectric in PCM as a thermal insulating layer, resulting in one-quarter lower power consumption in PCM devices through the reduction of the power consumed in the RESET operation.
