摘要: In this paper, we propose Al/SiO2/Dy2O3/ SiO2/ Si, Al/SiO2/DyTixOy/SiO2/Si, and Al/Al2O3/DyTixOy/SiO2/Si as charge-trapping memory devices incorporating high-k Dy2O3 Ti-doped films layers, SiO2 Al2O3 blocking layers. The Al/Al2O3/DyTix Oy/ SiO2/Si device exhibited a larger window of ~4.5 V (measured at sweep voltage range ±9 V), smaller charge loss ~20% time up to 106s 85°C), better endurance (program/erase cycles 104) than other devices. These results suggest higher probability for trapping the carrier due Ti content in film, which produce high dielectric constant suppress formation Dy-silicate layer, create deep trap level DyTixOy film.
