    In this paper the supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) fluid technology is employed to improve the quality of E-gun evaporation deposited silicon oxide (SiOx) film at 150 degrees C. After the treatment of SCCO2 fluid mixed with ethyl alcohol and pure H2O, the oxygen content of SiOx film increases and the traps within SiOx are terminated by forming Si-O-Si feature bonds. The leakage current density reduces from 10(-2) to 3x10(-8) A/cm(2) at an electric field of 3 MV/cm due to the passivation of traps, and the hysteresis effect in the capacitance-voltage curve is eliminated.

    In this work, nitric acid oxidation was studied to fabricate the tunneling oxide of nanocrystal memory devices. SiO2 about 4 nm thick was formed through oxidizing the sputtered Si film by immersing in nitric acid solution (HNO3:H2O=1:10) for 60 s. After oxide formation, a rapid thermal annealing process set at 700 degrees C for 30 s was used to improve oxide quality. In addition, the formed SiO2 film was analyzed by X-ray photoelectron, capacitance-voltage, and current density-voltage measurements to study the process of the nitric acid oxidation. After the investigation of the nitric acid oxidized SiO2, a 6 nm thick cobalt silicide thin film was deposited and aggregated on the formed SiO2 layer as the charge-trapping layer. The cobalt silicide nanocrystal memory device showed an obvious memory effect and good reliability, which confirms that the nitric acid oxidation method has potential for memory application.

    In this paper, the influence of a 600 degrees C rapid thermal annealing for 60 s on the improvements of resistance switching behaviors in a TiN/SiO2/FeOx/FePt structure is reported. It is found that besides the distinct reduction in memory switching parameters in forming voltage, set/reset voltages, and their dispersions, the resistance ratio of high-resistance state to low-resistance state is also enlarged after annealing. The effects of annealing on improving the resistance switching properties are discussed by x-ray diffraction and x-ray photon-emission spectra depth profile results. Additionally, good retention characteristics are exhibited in the annealed TiN/SiO2/FeOx/FePt resistance switching memory. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3428777]

    In the study, we reduced the operation current of resistance random access memory (RRAM) by supercritical CO2 (SCCO2) fluids treatment. The power consumption and joule heating degradation of RRAM device can be improved greatly by SCCO2 treatment. The defect of nickel-doped silicon oxide (Ni:SiOx) was passivated effectively by the supercritical fluid technology. The current conduction of high resistant state in post-treated Ni:SiOx film was transferred to Schottky emission from Frenkel-Pool due to the passivation effect. Additionally, we can demonstrate the passivation mechanism of SCCO2 for Ni:SiOx by material analyses of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.

    An oxygen-incorporated Mo silicide layer was explored to form the Mo nanocrystals after rapid thermal annealing. Transmission electron microscopy showed the nanocrystals embedded in SiO(x). Charge-storage characteristics of Mo nanocrystals influenced by Mo oxide and its surrounding oxide were investigated through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electrical measurement. X-ray photoelectron spectral analyses revealed a redox reaction in the oxygen-incorporated Mo silicide layer after rapid thermal annealing at a critical temperature. The memory window and retention were improved because of the reduction of Mo oxide. Furthermore, the double-layer nanocrystal structure was fabricated through the annealed stacked oxygen incorporated Mo silicide layer. A larger memory window and long retention were found for the double-layer nanocrystal structure. We used an energy band diagram to explain the difference in retention characteristics between single- and double-layer structures.

    Mo nanocrystal memory was fabricated through annealing the oxygen-incorporated Mo and Si layers. We then investigated the influence an of ammonia plasma treatment on the nonvolatile memory characteristics of a charge storage layer composed of Mo nanocrystal memory embedded in SiO(x). Transmission electron microscopy revealed the nanostructure of the charge storage layer, and X-ray photoelectron spectra analyses revealed that nitrogen was incorporated into the charge storage layer. Electric analyses indicated that the memory window reduced, and both retention and endurance improved after the treatment. The reduction in the memory window was attributed to the decrease in charge trapping centers in the surrounding oxide after the treatment. The improvement of retention was interpreted in terms of the nitrogen passivation of traps in the oxide around the Mo nanocrystals. The robust endurance characteristic was attributed to the improvement of the quality of the surrounding oxide by nitrogen passivation.

    We investigated ammonia plasma treatment influence on the nonvolatile memory characteristics of the charge storage layer composed of Mo nanocrystals embedded in nonstoichiometry oxide (SiO(x)). X-ray photoelectron spectra analyses revealed that nitrogen was incorporated into the charge storage layer. Electric analyses indicated that the memory window was reduced and the retention and the endurance improved after the treatment. The reduction in the memory window and the improvement in retention were interpreted in terms of the nitrogen passivation of traps in the oxide around Mo nanocrystals. The robust endurance characteristic was attributed the improvement of the quality of the surrounding oxide by nitrogen passivation.
