Abstract

We report the impact of high work-function (ΦM) metal gate and high-κ dielectrics on memory properties of NAND type charge trap flash (CTF) memory devices. In this article, theoretical and experimental studies show that high ΦM gate and high permittivity (high-κ) dielectrics play a key role in eliminating electron back tunneling (EBT) through the blocking dielectric during the erase operation. Techniques to improve erase efficiency of CTF memory devices with a fixed metal gate by employing various chemicals and structures are introduced and those mechanisms are discussed.
