Abstract
Current status of the GeTe phase change research at ARL is presented. The work covers determination of the power handling limits, both in ON and OFF condition, for state-of-the-art PCS technology. Maximum ON-state power handling, after 50 conditioning cycles, of 33dBm is reported. Experimental evidence of 75% reduction in the minimum energy to crystallize is presented. The effects of the applied external electric field are discussed. Also, initial results are shown for theoretical model of GeTe crystalization.
