Abstract

2 bit/cell

Logic nonvolatile memory (NVM)

Nitride storage node

One-time programmable (OTP)

P-channel

Self-aligned nitride (SAN)

A new p-channel nitride-based one-time programmable (OTP) memory was developed for advanced-logic nonvolatile-memory (NVM) applications. A 0.296-μm ² /bit (∼35 F ² ) OTP cell, i.e., 0.592 μm ² /cell, with a self-aligned nitride storage node was fabricated using standard 90-nm CMOS processes and is fully independent of gate oxide for high scalability. Additionally, the ultrahigh-density OTP cell exhibits excellent retention, immunity against disturbance, and a wide on/off window under the band-to-band hot electron programming. In summary, the new p-channel OTP cell is a very promising solution for use in high-density logic NVM applications beyond the 90-nm technology node. © 2008 IEEE.
