Oxygen vacancy traps in Hi-K/Metal gate technologies and their potential for embedded memory applications
Abstract
We explore the use of oxygen vacancies for nonvolatile data storage by trapping electrons in the high-k, gate dielectric layer of NFETs. Programming is performed via channel carrier injection and is erased by tunneling. 64Kb arrays were constructed and reliability is demonstrated.
