摘要
Random telegraph signals (RTS) in fluctuations of threshold voltage are analyzed using massive readout data in scaled flash memories. A novel quantitative analytical method is proposed to evaluate parameters of the RTS, such as amplitudes and mean time spent in individual states. This evaluation gives us a statistical view of parameters of the RTS as well as their correlations. All of the parameters were found to follow log-normal distribution and to show weak mutual dependences. Possible origins of the distributions are discussed. We also studied evolution of RTS during program/erase operations of flash memories and point out its potential similarity with breakdown phenomena in gate oxide.
