The Si-SiO$_2$interface trpas of the degraded short-channel SONOSFET memory devices were investigated using the charge pumping techniques. The degradation of devices with write/erase cycle appeared as the increase of the Si-SiO$_2$interface trap density. In order to determine the capture cross-section of the interface trap. I$\_$CP/-V$\_$GL/ characteristic curves were measured at different temperatures. Also, the spatial distributions of Si-SiO$_2$interface trap were examined by the variable-reverse bias boltage method.

An anomalous current characteristics which show the superposition of a low current level and high current level at the subthreshold region when SONOSFETs are in memory states were investigated. We have assumed this phenomena were resulted from the effect of parasitic transistors by LOCOS isolation and were modeled to a parallel equivalent circuit of one memory transistor and two parasitic transistors. Theoretical curves are well fitted in measured log I$_{D}$-V$_{G}$ curves independent of channel width of memory devices. The difference between low current level and high current level is apparently decreased with decrease of channel width of devices because parasitic devices dominantly contribute to the current conduction with decrease of channel width of memory devices. As a result, we concluded that the LOCOS isolation has to selectively adopt in the design of process for charge-trap type NVSM.VSM.

The Nano-Floating Gate Memory(NFGM) devices with ZnO:Cu thin film embedded in Al2O3 and AlOx-SAOL were fabricated and the electrical characteristics were evaluated. To further improve the scaling and to increase the program/erase speed, the high-k dielectric with a large barrier height such as Al2O3 can also act alternatively as a blocking layer for high-speed flash memory device application. The Al2O3 layer and AlOx-SAOL were deposited by MLD system and ZnO:Cu films were deposited by ALD system. The tunneling layer which is consisted of AlOx-SAOL were sequentially deposited at $100^{\circ}C$. The floating gate is consisted of ZnO films, which are doped with copper. The floating gate of ZnO:Cu films was used for charge trap. The same as tunneling layer, floating gate were sequentially deposited at $100^{\circ}C$. By using ALD process, we could control the proportion of Cu doping in charge trap layer and observe the memory characteristic of Cu doping ratio. Also, we could control and observe the memory property which is followed by tunneling layer thickness. The thickness of ZnO:Cu films was measured by Transmission Electron Microscopy. XPS analysis was performed to determine the composition of the ZnO:Cu film deposited by ALD process. A significant threshold voltage shift of fabricated floating gate memory devices was obtained due to the charging effects of ZnO:Cu films and the memory windows was about 13V. The feasibility of ZnO:Cu films deposited between Al2O3 and AlOx-SAOL for NFGM device application was also showed. We applied our ZnO:Cu memory to thin film transistor and evaluate the electrical property. The structure of our memory thin film transistor is consisted of all organic-inorganic hybrid structure. Then, we expect that our film could be applied to high-performance flexible device.----못찾겠음......

The electrical characteristics of Metal-Ferroelectric-Nitride-Oxide-Silicon (MFNOS) structure is studied and compared to the conventional Silicon-Oixde-Nitride-Oxide-Silicon (SONOS) capacitor. The ferroelectric blocking layer is SrBiNbO (SBN with Sr/Bi ratio 1-x/2+x) with the thickness of 200 nm and is fabricated by the RF sputter. The memory windows of MFNOS and SONOS capacitors with sweep voltage from +10 V to -10 V are 6.9 V and 5.9 V, respectively. The effect of ferroelectric blocking layer and charge trapping on the memory window was discussed. The retention of MFNOS capacitor also shows the 10-years and longer retention time than that of the SONOS capacitor. The better retention properties of the MFNOS capacitor may be attributed to the charge holding effect by the polarization of ferroelectric layer.

Film characteristics of thin reoxidized nitrided oxides were investigated by SIMS analysis and C-V method in order to use the gate dielectric for charge-trap type NVSMs instead of ONO stacked layers. Nitric oxide(NO) annealed film has the nitrogen content sharply peaked at the Si-SiO$_2$ interface, while it is broad for nitrous oxide($N_2$O) ambient. The nitrogen peak concentration increased with anneal temperature and time. The position of nitrogen content in the oxide layer was due to be precisely controlled. For the films annealed NO ambient at 80$0^{\circ}C$ for 30min. followed by reoxidized at 85$0^{\circ}C$, the maximum memory window of 3.5V was obtained and the program condition was +12V, 1msec for write and -l3V, 1msec for erase.

Scaled SONOS transistors have been fabricated by 0.35$\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS standard logic process. The thickness of stacked ONO(blocking oxide, memory nitride, tunnel oxide) gate insulators measured by TEM are 2.5 nm, 4.0 nm and 2.4 nm, respectively. The SONOS memories have shown low programming voltages of ${\pm}$8.5 V and long-term retention of 10-year Even after 2 ${\times}$ 10$\^$5/ program/erase cycles, the leakage current of unselected transistor in the erased state was low enough that there was no error in read operation and we could distinguish the programmed state from the erased states precisely The tight distribution of the threshold voltages in the programmed and the erased states could remove complex verifying process caused by over-erase in floating gate flash memory, which is one of the main advantages of the charge-trap type devices. A single power supply operation of 3 V and a high endurance of 1${\times}$10$\^$6/ cycles can be realized by the programming method for a flash-erased type EEPROM.

The effect of heat treatment in $HfO_2$ as charge trap with $SiO_2/Si_3N_4/SiO_2$ as tunnel oxide layer in capacitors has been investigated. Rapid thermal annealing (RTA) were carried out at the temperature range of 600 - $900^{\circ}C$. It is found that all devices carried out heat treatment have large threshold voltage shift Especially, device performed heat treatment at $900^{\circ}C$ has been confirmed the largest memory window. Also, Threshold voltage shift of device used conventional $SiO_2$ as tunnel oxide layer was smaller than that with $SiO_2/Si_3N_4/SiO_2$.
