摘要
Metal as floating gate (FG) in combination with high-k dielectrics has been seen as a possible solution to continue the scaling of NAND flash technology node beyond 2x nm. In this letter, it is demonstrated that stacked metal FG memory cell with SiO2/HfO2 dual-layer engineered tunneling barrier shows good memory characteristics. It presents favorable performance with lower operation voltage as well as enhanced program/erase speed. Furthermore, improvement of data retention is also obtained, proving that SiO2/HfO2 engineered tunnel barrier is promising for the improvement of metal FG memory performance.
