SILICIDE NANOCRYSTAL MEMORY DEVICE
- 技術優勢
- qImproved retention time so the data is preserved for a greater period of time. qFaster read-only programming on a memory device for permanent storage. qA non-volatile memory device that can retain stored information even when not receiving power.
- 詳細技術說明
- UCR researchers have developed a novel method of making a reduced sized nanocrystal memory device that can be integrated with scaled-down CMOS platforms. The reduced size of the thin tunnel oxide allows for faster programming and erasure speeds without the degradation to data retention.
- *Abstract
-
The retention time, programming speed, and erasure speed are the basic parameters to measure the effectiveness of a nanocrystal memory device. In an effort to improve these parameters, previous attempts have tried to scale down the nanocrystal memory device but a thin tunnel oxide can degrade retention time. As such, there is a great need for improved method for forming a nanocrystal memory device.
