[0055] Change Ga 2 o 3 Layer thickness and annealing temperature (see Table 2 for details), and other conditions are the same as in Example 1.

[0056] Table 2:

[0057]

[0058] It can be seen from the statistical results in Table 2 that Ga 2 o 3 The storage element made by layer thickness in the range of 35-65nm is generally ideal, but the Ga 2 o 3 When the layer thickness is about 50nm, the storage window of the storage element is the largest, and the storage performance is the best.

Abstract

The invention discloses a charge-trapping type storage element and a preparation technology therefor. The structure of the storage element is Si substrate / SiO2 tunneling layer / Ga2O3 layer / Au electrode, wherein the SiO2 tunneling layer is generated through the depositing of a Ga2O3 layer on the Si substrate and then oxygen annealing. The preparation technology comprises the steps: (1), depositing the Ga2O3 layer on the Si substrate through employing a magnetron sputtering method, and forming a Si substrate / Ga2O3 layer composite structure; (2), increasing the temperature of the Si substrate / Ga2O3 layer composite structure in an oxygen atmosphere to an annealing temperature 540 DEG C to 720 DEG C from the room temperature at a constant speed, and then starting the cooling to the room temperature at the constant speed, thereby forming a Si substrate / SiO2 tunneling layer / Ga2O3 layer composite structure; (3), growing an Au electrode on the surface of the Ga2O3 layer of the Si substrate / SiO2 tunneling layer / Ga2O3 layer composite structure, and obtaining the storage element with the Si substrate / SiO2 tunneling layer / Ga2O3 layer / Au electrode structure.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a non-volatile memory, in particular to a charge-trapping memory element and its preparation process. Background technique [0002] At present, due to the popularity of portable mobile electronic devices and cloud service systems, people have higher and higher performance requirements for non-volatile memory. Therefore, the development of low-power non-volatile memory has become an important factor in promoting sustainable development and building an environmentally friendly society. inevitable requirement. Low-power non-volatile memory devices not only suppress power dissipation but also enable external circuits to have smaller areas and stronger reliability. [0003] Charge trapping memory (CTM) can fix the injected charge and prevent the leakage of stored charge to a certain extent. At the same time, it has simple process, good compatibility with CMOS process, and higher erase / write speed And higher stability and other adv...
