  • Abstract
    Double-gate and tri-gate FinFET type memories with nitride (SONOS-like) or Si nanocrystals storage with minimum feature sizes of 10 nm were realized. Strong performance advantages in program / erase characteristics and reliability deeply linked to the FinFET architecture are demonstrated.
