PRAM (Phase change random access memory) is one of the most promising candidates for next generation Non-volatile Memories. The Phase change materials have been researched in the field of optical data storage media. Among the phase change materials. $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ is very well known for its high optical contrast in the state of amorphous and crystalline. However the characteristics required in solid state memory are quite different from optical ones. In this study. the structural Properties of GeSbTe thin films with composition were investigated for PRAM. The 100-nm thick $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ and $Sb_2Te_3$ films were deposited on $SiO_2/Si$ substrates by RF sputtering system. In order to characterize the crystal structure and morphology of these films. x-ray diffraction (XRD). atomic force microscopy (AFM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and 4-point measurement analysis were performed. XRD and DSC analysis result of GST thin films indicated that the crystallization of $Se_2Sb_2Te_5$ films start at about $180^{circ}C$ and $Sb_2Te_3$ films Start at about $125^{circ}C$
