摘要
In this paper, we report a metal/Al2O3/ZrO2/SiO2/Si (MAZOS) structure with a ZrO2 charge-trapping layer for non-volatile memory application. The superiority of this device over the traditional metal/Al2O3/Si3N4/SiO2/Si (MANOS) devices is much better data retention and enhanced program/erase efficiency. The MAZOS device exhibits excellent memory characteristics, including a large memory window of 7.1 V under +/- 11 V capacitance-voltage sweep, and a greatly improved data retention (only 16% charge loss for 10 years time) along with good endurance. The MAZOS device has a strong potential for future high-performance non-volatile memory application.
