Popis: A polysilicon-oxide-nitride-oxide-silicon-type flash memory using a high-k yttrium oxide (Y 2 O 3 ) film as the trapping storage layer is developed. This high-k Y 2 O 3 charge trapping layer memory exhibited large threshold voltage shifting (memory window of 3 V), excellent data retention (charge loss of 5 and 10% measured time up to 10 4 s and recorded at room temperature and 125°C, respectively), and superior endurance characteristics (program/erase cycles up to 10 5 ) because of the higher probability for trapping the charge carrier. This film appears to be a very promising charge trapping layer for high-density, two-bit nonvolatile flash memory application.
