The commercialization of Phase-Change Memories (PCM), based on the well-known GST compound, have been recently started, tailored for consumer applications. Despite other excellent performances (i.e. low-power, scalability,...), data retention is assured up to 85°C, still limited automotive market segment. Alternative active material able comply with stringent requirements applications should possibly exhibit higher crystallization temperature (T <sub...

From structural analysis by x-ray diffraction, Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy, and physical investigations (magnetization resistance), reactive sputtering assisted microwave multidipolar plasma appears to be a powerful means for tailoring the stoichiometry of transition metal nitrides. Reactive sputtered nitride Ni layers were elaborated while keeping Ar partial pressure constant (∼1.5 μbar) varying N2 in 0.1–0.5 μbar range. A mixing Ni2N Ni3N single-phase are stabilized thin high...
