Ge-Sb-Te thin films deposited by pulsed laser: An ellipsometry and Raman scattering spectroscopy study

Résumé

Pulsed laser (532 nm) deposited Ge2Sb2Te5 thin films were investigated by means of spectroscopic ellipsometry and Raman scattering spectroscopy. Tauc-Lorentz and Cody-Lorentz models were employed for the evaluation of optical functions of thin films in as-deposited (amorphous) and crystalline (cubic) phases. The models' parameters (Lorentz oscillator amplitude, resonance energy, oscillator width, optical band gap, and Urbach energy) calculated for amorphous and crystalline states are discussed. The vibrational modes observed in Raman spectra of amorphous layers are attributed to GeTe4-nGen (n=1, 2, eventually 0) tetrahedra connected by corners (partly by edges) and SbTe3 units. The Raman spectra of crystalline thin films suggest that the local bonding arrangement around Ge atoms changes; GeTe component is thus mainly responsible for the phase transition in Ge2Sb2Te5 alloys.
