The scaling-down of twin Silicon-oxide-nitride-oxide-silicon (SONOS) memory
transistor has been extensively studied and its application to multi-bit/cell Flash device has been also presented. The scaling issues of SONOS memory is generally addressed in terms of both NAND and NOR Flash application. In the case of NAND SONOS Flash, there are some significant process integration issues about selection transistor, contact resistance, gate filling process margin, and dielec...
متن کاملInterfacial structure in silicon nitride sintered with lanthanide oxide
Three independent research groups present a comparison of their structural analyses of prismatic interfaces in silicon nitride densified with the aid of lanthanide oxide Ln2O3. All three groups obtained scanning transmission electron microscope images which clearly reveal the presence of well-defined Ln segregation sites at the interfaces, and, moreover, reveal that these segregation sites are ...
متن کاملCharacterization of silicon/oxide/nitride layers by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
Core-level intensities for Si 2p , Si 2s , O 1s , and N 1s were measured by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy in bulk samples of silicon, SiO2 and Si3N4. A complete and consistent set of intensity ratios is given and applied for calculations of thickness and stoichiometry in thin Si/oxide/nitride layers, which can be used for gate dielectrics in advanced metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect tr...
متن کاملGuided photoluminescence study ofNd-doped Silicon Rich Silicon Oxide and Silicon Rich Silicon Nitride waveguides
Planar waveguides made of Nd 3+ -doped silicon rich silicon oxide (SRSO) and silicon rich silicon nitride (SRSN) have been fabricated by reactive magnetron sputtering and characterized with special emphasis on the comparison of the guided photoluminescence (PL) properties of these two matrices. Guided fluorescence excited by top surface pumping at 488 nm on planar waveguides was measured as a f...
متن کاملSurface etching, chemical modification and characterization of silicon nitride and silicon oxide--selective functionalization of Si3N4 and SiO2.
The ability to selectively chemically functionalize silicon nitride (Si3N4) or silicon dioxide (SiO2) surfaces after cleaning would open interesting technological applications. In order to achieve this goal, the chemical composition of surfaces needs to be carefully characterized so that target chemical reactions can proceed on only one surface at a time. While wet-chemically cleaned silicon di...
