摘要: A HfLaxTiyOz film that embeds in a Hf2La2O7 dielectric has been presented as the charge trapping layer (CTL) of metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) structures for nonvolatile memory (NVM). First, physical and electrical characteristics MOS NVM with CTLs treated at various postdeposition annealing conditions are examined. Then, reliability properties, including hysteresis windows, programming/erasing (P/E) time, endurance, retention structures, Ti O contents incorporated into CTLs, investigated. The results indicate 2.7 V window is achieved by scanning over range ±7 V. density trap states estimated to be 2.03 ± 0.06 × 1013 cm−2 during C–V sweep ±7 V CTL. Better namely, small narrowing after 104 P/E cycles 7% loss 10 years, demonstrated CTL with...
