ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a data storage device having a chalcogendata storage medium encapsulated along at least one surface, and preferably both surfaces, by a dielectric barrier layer. The dielectric is compositionally graded in oxygen content with respect to the chalcogen data storage medium. The dielectric is a substantially stoichiometric oxide in proximity to the chalocogen data storage medium, and a substantially non-stoichiometric suboxide remote from the chalcogenide data storage medium. The resulting data storage device is relatively moisture blocking and non-reactive with the chalcogendata storage medium. Also disclosed are methods of making and using the data storage device.
