Abstract:
A phase modulation device was proposed for the implementation of hologram image for display applications. A Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) film as thin as 7 nm was prepared between the ITO films to form the cavities corresponding a unit pixel. Nitrogen was incorporated into the GST for improving the thermal stability of the GST active region. The effects of the nitrogen doping on the physical properties of GST was investigated with the variations in doping amounts. The nitrogen incorporation was found to reduce the surface micro-roughness and to improve the thermal stability of the GST even after the crystallization by effectively suppressing the excessive grain growth. As results, the number of repeatable operations for the fabricated phase modulation device was evidently improved from 10 to 69 cycles when a 2.7-at% nitrogen was doped into the GST.
