Dependence of nanocrystal formation and charge storage/retention performance of a tri-layer memory structure on germanium concentration and tunnel oxide thickness

The effect of germanium (Ge) concentration and the rapid thermal oxide (RTO) layer thickness on the nanocrystal formation and charge storage/retention capability of a trilayer metal-insulator-semiconductor device was studied. We found that the RTO and the capping oxide layers were not totally effect...
