Item type:Item, Use of Random Telegraph Signal as Internal Probe to Study Program/Erase Charge Lateral Spread in a SONOS Flash Memory(2010) ;Chou, Y. L. ;Chiu, J. P. ;Ma, H. C. ;Wang, TahuiChao, Y. P.A novel random telegraph signal (RTS) method is proposed to study the lateral spread of injected charges in program/erase of a NOR-type SONOS flash memory. The concept is to use RTS to extract an interface trap position and to detect a local potential variation near the trap due to injection of program/erase charges. By using this method, we find that CHISEL program has a broader charge distribution than CHE program. A mismatch of CHE program electrons and band-to-band erase holes is observed directly from this method.Item type:Item, A Comparative Study of NBTI and RTN Amplitude Distributions in High-kappa Gate Dielectric pMOSFETs(2012-02-01) ;Chiu, J. P. ;Chung, Y. T. ;Wang, Tahui ;Chen, Min-ChengLu, C. Y.Random telegraph noise (RTN) and negative bias temperature (NBT) stress-induced threshold voltage (V-t) fluctuations in high-kappa gate dielectric and metal-gate pMOSFETs are investigated. We measured RTN amplitude distributions before and after NBT stress. RTN in poststressed devices exhibits a broader amplitude distribution than the prestress one. In addition, we trace a single trapped charge-induced Delta V-t in NBT stress and find that the average Delta V-t is significantly larger than a Delta V(t)caused by RTN. A 3-D atomistic simulation is performed to compare a single-charge-induced Delta V-t by RTN and NBTI. In our simulation, the probability distribution of a NBT trapped charge in the channel is calculated from the reaction-diffusion model. Our simulation confirms that the NBT-induced Delta V-t indeed has a larger distribution tail than RTN due to a current-path percolation effect.Item type:Item, Investigation of Post-NBT Stress Current Instability Modes in HfSiON Gate Dielectric pMOSFETs by Measurement of Individual Trapped Charge Emissions(2009) ;Ma, H. C. ;Chiu, J. P. ;Tang, C. J. ;Wang, TahuiChang, C. S.Bipolar charge detrapping induced current instability in HfSiON gate dielectric pMOSFETs after negative bias and temperature stress is studied by using a fast transient measurement technique. Both single electron and single hole emissions are observed, leading to post-stress current degradation and recovery, respectively. The NBT stress voltage and temperature effect on post-stress current evolution is explored. Clear evidence of electron and hole trapping in NBT stress is demonstrated. A bipolar charge trapping/detrapping model and charge detrapping paths based on measured charge emission times are proposed.Item type:Item, Program Trapped-Charge Effect on Random Telegraph-Noise Amplitude in a Planar SONOS Flash Memory Cell(2009-11-01) ;Ma, H. C. ;Chou, Y. L. ;Chiu, J. P. ;Wang, TahuiKu, S. H.Program-charge effects in a SONOS Flash cell on the amplitude of random telegraph noise (RTN) are investigated. We measure RTN in 45 planar SONOS cells and 40 floating-gate (FG) cells in erase state and program state, respectively. We find that a SONOS cell has a wide spread in RTN amplitudes after programming, while an FG cell has identical RTN amplitudes in erase and program states at the same read-current level. A 3-D atomistic simulation is performed to calculate RTN amplitudes. Our result shows that the wide spread of program-state RTN amplitudes in a SONOS cell is attributed to a current-path-percolation effect caused by random discrete nitride charges.
