Abstract

A silicon-based charge trapping memory device is disclosed. In the memory device with the structure being p-Si / tunneling layer medium / charge trapping medium / barrier layer medium / gate, the memory device comprises a substrate, a tunneling layer, a charge trapping dielectric layer, a barrier layer and a gate from bottom to top; the tunneling layer is an insulating layer with the thickness of 1-5nm, the conduction band bottom of the charge trapping medium and the conduction band bottom of the p-Si has matching energy band structures. The charge trapping medium is a mixture of two unit oxides, andboth of them have higher dielectric coefficients compared with silicon, ranging from 6 to 100. The conduction band bottom of the charge trapping medium and the conduction band bottom of the p-Si havematching energy band structures, and the potential energy difference between the conduction band bottom of the charge trapping medium and the conduction band bottom of the p-Si is in the range of -1.5eV to 1.5 eV, which is beneficial to keeping electrons in the charge trapping medium and improve the storage performance of the silicon-based charge trapping memory device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of memory technology in the microelectronics industry, in particular to the field of charge-trapping semiconductor memory devices. Background technique [0002] A non-volatile memory device means that when the external power supply is cut off, the information in the memory device will not be lost and can still be kept for a period of time. It is often used in devices such as mobile hard disks, memory cards, and U disks. Traditional non-volatile storage devices use flash memory (Flash) technology. On this basis, a new type of charge-trapping memory can meet the needs of future device miniaturization and help to achieve high integration density, high performance, and low cost. cost of storage technology. [0003] However, with the continuous reduction of device size, the charge retention performance within 10 years is a key indicator for judging the quality of the device, and improving the retention performance is an ...
