Popis: The reliability properties of NOR flash memory with 65nm node being developed in Samsung electronics are greatly improved by using the newly proposed re-oxidized tunnel oxide. Especially, by optimizing the process variables such as the re-oxidation thickness/time, the partial pressure of NO during annealing, and the kinds of re-oxidizing materials, the Vth shifts post cycling and after post-cycling bake were decreased to the level of 28% and 42% of conventional NO annealed tunnel oxide, respectively.
