Energy-band engineering for improved charge retention in fully self-aligned double floating-gate single-electron memories.
We present a new fully self-aligned single-electron memory with a single pair of nano floating gates, made of different materials (Si and Ge). The energy barrier that prevents stored charge leakage is induced not only by quantum effects but also by the conduction-band offset that arises between Ge and Si. The dimensions and position of each floating gate are well-defined and controlled. The dev...
متن کاملSolution processed molecular floating gate for flexible flash memories
Solution processed fullerene (C60) molecular floating gate layer has been employed in low voltage nonvolatile memory device on flexible substrates. We systematically studied the charge trapping mechanism of the fullerene floating gate for both p-type pentacene and n-type copper hexadecafluorophthalocyanine (F16CuPc) semiconductor in a transistor based flash memory architecture. The devices base...
متن کاملPermanent effects of heavy ion irradiation in Floating Gate memories
Protons, electrons and heavier nuclei typical of the space environment can interact with microelectronic devices. In particular, the dense charge cascade released by a single heavy ion can result in a Single Event Effect (SEE), such as Soft Errors (SE) [1]. At ground level, SE are of less concern than in space, and are mainly related to radioactive contaminants in packages [2] or to atmospheric...
متن کاملMolecules as segmented storage elements in Floating Gate Memories
Conventional flash memories may reach fundamental scaling limits [1] because of the minimum tunnel oxide thickness and poor charge retention due to defects in the tunneling oxide, necessitating new approaches to meet the scaling requirements while simultaneously meeting the reliability and performance requirements of future products. In this study we demonstrate alternative nano-segmented float...
متن کاملMolecular and Quantum Dot Floating Gate Non - Volatile Memories
Conventional Flash memory devices face a scaling issue that will impede memory scaling beyond the 50nm node: a reliability issue involving the tunneling oxide thickness and charge retention. A possible solution is to replace the continuous floating gate, where charge is stored, with a segmented charge storage film, so that leakage through defects in the tunneling oxide would be localized. We fi...
