  • Abstract
    The 3D fin-channel charge-trapping (CT) type flash memories with a high-k Al2O3 blocking layer (MANOS) have successfully been fabricated by scaling down Lg to 22 nm, and their electrical characteristics including variability of threshold voltage (Vt), endurance and retention characteristics have systematically been investigated. Thanks to the high-k effect of an Al2O3 blocking layer, it was found that the better short-channel effect (SCE) immunity and a larger memory window are obtained in the fabricated MANOS type flash memories than the MONOS ones with a SiO2 blocking layer.
