    Discrete nitride program charge loss in a small-area SONOS Flash memory cell during retention is observed. Our measurement shows that a retention V-t of a programmed SONOS cell exhibits a stepwise evolution with retention time. Individual single-program charge-loss-induced threshold voltage shifts (Delta V-t) are characterized. We find the following: 1) The magnitude of Delta V-t exhibits an exponential distribution, which is believed due to a current-path percolation effect caused by random program charges and substrate dopants, and 2) program-state V-t retention loss has large variations in different cells and P/E cycles due to the percolation effect. We develop a Monte Carlo analysis to take into account the distribution of Delta V-t and a tunneling front model to study the spread of a retention V-t distribution in a SONOS Flash memory.

    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.
