Abstract

The double layers of $SiO_2$/$Si_3$$N_4$ have superior charge storage stability than a single layer of $SiO_2$. Many researchers are very interested in the charge storage mechanism of $SiO_2$/$Si_3$$N_4$ [1,2]. In this paper, the electrical characteristics of thermal oxide and atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) of $Si_4$$N_4$ have been investigated and explained using high frequency capacitance-voltage measurements. Additionally, this paper will describe capacitance-voltage characteristics for double layers of $SiO_2$/$Si_4$$N_4$ by "Athena", a semiconductor device simulation tool created by Silvaco, Inc.vaco, Inc.
