  • Recently, with the recent rapid development of memory technology, various types of memory are developed and are used to improve processing speed in data management systems. In particular, NAND flash memory is used as a main media for storing data in memory-based storage devices because it has a nonvolatile characteristic that it can maintain data even at the power off state. However, since the recently studied memory-based storage device consists of various types of memory such as MRAM and PRAM as well as NAND flash memory, research on memory management technology is needed to improve data processing performance and efficiency of media in a storage system composed of different types of memories. In this paper, we propose a memory mapping scheme thought technique for efficiently managing data in the storage device composed of various memories for data management. The proposed idea is a method of managing different memories using a single mapping table. This method can unify the address scheme of data and reduce the search cost of data stored in different memories for data tiering.

  • 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......

  • Nonvolatile semiconductor memory devices with reoxidized nitrided oxide(RONO) gate dielectrics were fabricated, and nitrogen distribution and bonding species which contribute to memory characteristics were analyzed. Also, memory characteristics of devices depending on the anneal temperatures were investigated. The devices were fabricated by retrograde twin well CMOS processes with $0.35\mu m$ design rule. The processes could be simple by in-situ process in growing dielectric. The nitrogen distribution and bonding states of gate dielectrics were investigated by Dynamic Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry(D-SIMS), Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry(ToF-SIMS), and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy(XPS). As the nitridation temperature increased, nitrogen concentration increased linearly, and more time was required to form the same reoxidized layer thickness. ToF-SIMS results showed that SiON species were detected at the initial oxide interface which had formed after NO annealing and $Si_2NO$ species within the reoxidized layer formed after reoxidation. As the anneal temperatures increased, the device showed worse retention and degradation properties. It could be said that nitrogen concentration near initial interface is limited to a certain quantity, so the excess nitrogen is redistributed within reoxidized layer and contribute to electron trap generation.

  • The Si-SiO$_2$interface trap and nitride bulk trap distribution of SONOSFET(polysilicon-oxide-nitride-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor) NVSM (nonvolatile semiconductor memory) cell is investigated by single junction charge pumping method. The device was fabricated by 0.35㎛ standard logic fabrication process including the ONO stack dielectrics. The thickness of ONO dielectricis are 24$\AA$ for tunnel oxide, 74 $\AA$ for nitride and 25 $\AA$ for blocking oxide, respectively. By the use of single junction charge pumping method, the lateral profiles of both interface and memory traps can be calculated directly from experimental charge pumping results without complex numerical simulation. The interface traps were almost uniformly distributed over the whole channel region and its maximum value was 7.97$\times$10$\^$10/㎠. The memory traps were uniformly distributed in the nitride layer and its maximum value was 1.04$\times$10$\^$19/㎤. The degradation characteristics of SONOSFET with write/erase cycling also were investigated.

  • As next generation nonvolatile memory, chalcogenide-based phase change memory can substitute for a conventional flash memory from its high performance. Also, fast writing speed, low writing voltage, high sensing margin, low power consumption and repetition reliability over $10^{15}$ cycle shows its possibility. At our laboratory, we invented ${Ge_1}{Se_1}{Te_2}$ material to alternate with conventional ${Ge_2}{Sb_2}{Te_5}$ for improve its ability. We respect the ${Ge_1}{Se_1}{Te_2}$ material can be a solution for high power consumption problem and long time at 'set' performance. A conductivity experiment from variable temperature was performed to see reliability of repetition at read and write performance. Compare with conventional ${Ge_2}{Sb_2}{Te_5}$ material, these two materials are used as complex compound to get the finest parameter.
