Abstract :
Memory structures with an embedded sheet of separated Si nanocrystals were prepared by low pressure chemical vapour deposition using a Si3N4 control layer and a SiO2 or a Si3N4 tunnel layer. It was obtained that the charging behaviour of structures with SiO2 tunnel layer was better than with Si3N4 tunnel layer
