Flash memory devices using large electron affinity material for charge trapping |
摘要 |
Disclosed is a novel flash memory device using a high-permittivity dielectric such as HfO<SUB>2 </SUB>or TiO<SUB>2 </SUB>as a charge trapping layer. Numerical simulation shows that the novel trapping material will enhance the retention time/programming speed ratio by 5 orders of magnitude, compared to the conventional Si<SUB>3</SUB>N<SUB>4 </SUB>trapping layer. Capacitors with HfO<SUB>2 </SUB>deposited by RTCVD as the charge trap/storage layer in SONOS-type flash memory devices were fabricated and characterized. Compared against devices with Si<SUB>3</SUB>N<SUB>4 </SUB>trapping layer, faster programming speed as well as good retention time is achieved with low programming voltage.
