Scaled SONOSFET nonvolatile memory devices were designed and fabricated using the n-well CMOS process technology with 1.5 /spl mu/m design rule in order to investigate the characteristics of scale-down devices. The ONO gate insulator of fabricated SONOSFETs were formed with a 18 /spl Aring/ tunneling oxide, 38 /spl Aring/ nitride and 37 /spl Aring/ blocking oxide. Memory window of 1.9 V was obtained with write pulse of +7 V, 2 sec and erase pulse of -7 V, 2 sec, and 1 V with /spl plusmn/7 V, 50 msec. Data retention after programming was achieved over 10 years. |
