Study of degradation mechanism of metal nanocrystal-based gate stacks

This thesis focuses on the degradation and reliability mechanism of the metal nanocrystal-based Al2O3/SiO2 gate stacks which is believed to be a promising candidate for next generation nonvolatile memory. A series of novel approaches were used to obtain in-depth knowledge of the gate stack in terms...
