Abstract
A phase change recording film having a high electrical resistance is provided. The phase change recording film may have the following composition in atom %: 15 to 30% of Ge, 15 to 25% of Sb, a total of 0.1 to 13% of one or both of Al and Si, and the balance of Te and impurities. Also, a sputtering target is provided for forming a phase change recording film having a high electrical resistance. The sputtering target may have the same composition as described above for the phrase change recording film.
