A Study On The Nanocrystal Floating-gate Nonvolatile Memory

Protein-Mediated Nanocrystal Assembly for Floating Gate Flash Memory Fabrication

Dedication To my parents and my husband Acknowledgements The completion of this work would never have been possible without the inspiration and support from a lot of people and I know for sure however sincere an effort I might make to acknowledge the contributions of everybody who helped me through this, it will always fall short of what actually they mean to me. I would like to acknowledge, fo...

Synthesis and characterization of aerosol silicon nanocrystal nonvolatile floating-gate memory devices

This letter describes the fabrication and structural and electrical characterization of an aerosol-nanocrystal-based floating-gate field-effect-transistor nonvolatile memory. Aerosol nanocrystal nonvolatile memory devices demonstrate program/erase characteristics comparable to conventional stacked-gate nonvolatile memory devices. Aerosol nanocrystal devices with 0.2 mm channel lengths exhibit l...

Radiation Effects on Floating-Gate Memory Cells

We have addressed the problem of threshold voltage ( TH) variation in flash memory cells after heavy-ion irradiation by using specially designed array structures and test instruments. After irradiation, low TH tails appear in TH distributions, growing with ion linear energy transfer (LET) and fluence. In particular, high LET ions, such as iodine used in this paper, can produce a bit flip. Since...

A novel, aerosol-nanocrystal floating-gate device for non-volatile memory applications - Electron Devices Meeting, 2000. IEDM Technical Digest. International

This paper describes the fabrication, and structural and electrical characterization of a new, aerosolnanocrystal floating-gate FET, aimed at non-volatile memory (NVM) applications. This aerosolnanocrystal NVM device features prograderase characteristics comparable to conventional stacked gate NVM devices, excellent endurance (>lo5 P/E cycles), and long-term non-volatility in spite of a thin bo...
