Abstract

Floating gate non-volatile memory devices with Au nano-particles embedded in SiON or $SiO_2$ dielectrics were fabricated by digital sputtering method. The size and the density of Au are 4nm and $2{\times}10^{-12}cm^{-2}$, respectively. The floating gate memory of MOSFET with 5nm tunnel oxide and 45nm control oxide have been fabricated. This devices revealed a memory effect which due to proGrainming and erasing works perform by a gate bias stress repeatedly.
