  • Abstract
    We have developed a repeatable process of forming uniform, small-size and high-density Si quantum dots on oxide-nitride tunneling dielectrics and have fabricated an EEPROM which showed room temperature single electron effects. This proved the feasibility of practical Si quantum dot memory with ON film.
