| dc.description.abstract |
A memory structure comprising Ge nanocrystals and lanthanide-based charge trapping dielectric stack was fabricated to realize a self-aligned graded barrier structure. By exploiting efficient charge
trapping of the nanocrystals embedded in the heterogeneous high-k dielectric, strong memory effect
was manifested by a large counterclockwise capacitance-voltage hysteresis of 2.7 V under a low
voltage operation of ±4 V. The high-k barrier with graded composition provides a favorable
confinement barrier for improved hole retention with simultaneous enlargement of the memory window. |
