摘要
In this letter, Ni-rich NiO thin film is deposited on p-type Si substrate by dc magnetron sputtering to form a metal-insulator-semiconductor structure. The charge trapping in the Ni nanocrystals (nc-Ni) embedded in NiO matrix induces a flatband voltage shift and capacitance modulation, which could be used for memory applications. The charging of nc-Ni depends on the voltage polarity, as well as the charging time and magnitude of gate voltage. The capacitance modulation can be described by an equivalent circuit model.
