Nonvolatile multilevel data storage memory device from controlled ambipolar charge trapping mechanism

Nonvolatile multilevel data storage memory device from controlled ambipolar charge trapping mechanism

The capability of storing multi-bit information is one of the most important challenges in memory technologies. An ambipolar polymer which intrinsically has the ability to transport electrons and holes as a semiconducting layer provides an opportunity for the charge trapping layer to trap both electrons and holes efficiently. Here, we achieved large memory window and distinct multilevel data st...

A multilevel nonvolatile magnetoelectric memory

The coexistence and coupling between magnetization and electric polarization in multiferroic materials provide extra degrees of freedom for creating next-generation memory devices. A variety of concepts of multiferroic or magnetoelectric memories have been proposed and explored in the past decade. Here we propose a new principle to realize a multilevel nonvolatile memory based on the multiple s...

Charge-trapping characteristics of BaTiO3 with and without nitridation for nonvolatile memory applications

The charge-trapping characteristics of BaTiO3 with and without nitrogen incorporation were investigated based on Al/Al2O3/BaTiO3/SiO2/Si (MONOS) capacitors. The physical properties of the high-k films were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Compared with the MONOS capacitor with BaTiO3 as charge-trapping layer, the one with nitrided BaTiO3 showed ...
