Abstract

Erasing Speed;Junctionless Flash Memory Device;Bandgap-Engineered;Trapping Layer
Operation characteristics of inversion-mode (IM) and junctionless (JL) polycrystalline-Si (poly-Si) flash memory device with HfO2/Si3N4 (HN) bandgap-engineered trapping layer (BETL) are studied and compared in this work. JL device shows faster programming speed than the IM one because of its heavily doped n-channel. Specially, comparable erasing speed of JL device can be achieved by HN BETL due to more effective electron de-trapping. JL device with HN BETL also shows better retention characteristics and keeps a larger window after 105 programming/erasing cycles
