- Abstract
- Unique four-bit/cell polycrystalline silicon-oxide-silicon nitride-oxide-silicon (SONOS) devices with separated ONOs utilizing the vertical channel of a silicon pillar, denoted as silicon pillar vertical-channel SONOS (SPVC-SONOS) devices, were designed to increase memory density. A narrow charge distribution and improved data retention were achieved owing to the separation of the storage nitride layers. An analytical model of the transient characteristics for investigating the effects of the dielectric composition and the erase speed, which was dependent on the erase voltage, was developed. Floating nodes acting as a trap site were added in the nitride layer to simulate the program characteristics using the conventional device simulator MEDICI. The channel hot-electron-injection program, Fowler-Nordheim tunneling erase, and reverse mode read characteristics were estimated to verify the operation of the novel four-bit/cell SPVC-SONOS devices. The proposed unique four-bit/cell SPVC-SONOS devices can be used to increase memory density.
