  • Abstract
    Low-frequency noise in PCM devices is experimentally investigated providing a new physical model for the amorphous GST (Ge2Sb2Te5) material. Noise intensity is characterized and modelled as a function of bias, temperature and size. Findings from 1/f noise analysis are used to understand the drift mechanism of the amorphous state resistance.
