Commercialization of germanium based nanocrystal memory
… the commercialization of germanium-based nanocrystal memories. Demand for smaller and faster electronics and embedded systems supports the development of high-density, low-power non-volatile electronic memory devices. Flash memory cells designed for ten years of data retention require the …

Alternative gate dielectrics and application in nanocrystal memory
Nanocrystal memory has attracted much attention because it has better scalability than the conventional floating gate Flash memory. In this work, the performance of germanium (Ge) nanocrystal memory structures, employing high dielectric constant (high-k) materials to replace the tunnel oxide and …

Hysteresis and memory effects in nanocrystal embedded MOS capacitors
Nanocrystal Memory is a promising new memory type which utilizes silicon nanocrystals and quantum mechanical direct tunneling current for charge storage. This thesis presents the work done to characterize the memory effect in nanocrystal embedded metal-oxide-semiconductor (NC-MOS) capacitors, the …

Synthesis of silicon nanocrystal memories by sputter deposition
In Silizium-Nanokristall-Speichern werden im Gate-Oxid eines Feldeffekttransistors eingebettete Silizium Nanokristalle genutzt, um Elektronen lokal zu speichern. Die gespeicherte Ladung bestimmt dann den Zustand der Speicherzelle. Ein wichtiger Aspekt in der Technologie dieser Speicher ist die …
