Impact of a HTO/Al$_2$O$_3$ bi-layer blocking oxide in nitride-trap non-volatile memories
Résumé
In this work, we present an experimental and theoretical study of nitride-trap devices with a HTO/Al$_2$O$_3$ bi-layer blocking oxide. Such (Silicon/Alumina/HTO/Nitride/Oxide/Silicon) SAONOS devices are compared with standard (Silicon/HTO/Nitride/Oxide/Silicon) SONOS and (Silicon/Alumina/Nitride/Oxide/Silicon) SANOS memories. The role of the different layers (blocking oxide and control gate) is deeply analyzed, focusing on their impact on memory performance and reliability. Then, a semi-analytical model is developed , which provides a good understanding of the physical mechanisms at the origin of program/erase characteristics.
