Nowadays, many applications use spatial data for instance-location information, so storing spatial data is important.We suggest using R -Tree over PCM. Our objective is to design a PCM-sensitive R -Tree that can store spatial data as well as improve the endurance problem. Initially, we examine how R -Tree causes endurance problems in PCM, and we then optimize it for PCM. We propose doubling the leaf node size, writing a split node to a blank node, updating parent nodes only once and not merging the nodes after deletion when the minimum fill factor requirement does not meet. Based on our experimental results while using benchmark dataset, the number of write operations to PCM in average decreased by 56 times by using the proposed R -Tree. Moreover, the proposed R -Tree scheme improves the performance in terms of processing time in average 23% compared to R -Tree.

We have investigated random-access multilevel storage in phase change memory by staircase-like pulse programming. Staircase-like pulse consists of first sub-pulse and second sub-pulse. Our simulation exhibited that any resistance levels are expected to be randomly accessed by controlling the crystallization with different widths of second sub-pulset2. Based on the simulation results, we did experiment on staircase-like pulse programming. Experimental results showed that the device resistance gradually increased with reducing second sub-pulset2to 0 ns. In other words, random access to any resistance levels was demonstrated to be possible simply by changingt2.

Reliability (or stability) of multi-level storage (MLS) is the critical characteristics for multi-level cells. In order to improve reliability of MLS of phase-change memory, there are two effective approaches, (i) enlargement of the ratio between resistance levels and (ii) reduction of scattering of resistance level. On the basis of our experimental results, it is demonstrated that the Ge2Sb2Te5-based double-layered cell has a high ratio of highest to lowest levels up to two-to-three orders of magnitude, implying high reliability. The cells exhibit the possibility of stable switching for four-level storage.

ABSTRACTWe report the demonstration of low power phase change memory (PCM) by forming thin self-assembled SiOx nanostructures between Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) and a TiN heater layer utilizing a block copolymer (BCP) self-assembly technology. The reset current was decreased about three-fold as fill factor, which is the occupying area fraction of self-assembled SiOx nanostructures on a TiN heater layer, increased to 75.3%. The electro-thermal simulation shows the better heat efficiency due to the nano-patterned insulating oxide.
