Aim of this work was, to investigate the preparation of Si NC memories by sputter deposition. The milestones are as follows: - Review of relevant literature. - Development of processes for an ultrathin tunnel-oxide and high quality sputtered SiO2 for use as control-oxide. - Evaluation of methods for the preparation of an oxygen-deficient silicon oxide inter-layer (the precursor of the Si NC layer). - Characterization of deposited films. - Establishment of techniques capable of probing the phase separation of SiOx and the formation of Si NC. - Establishment of annealing conditions compatible with the requirements of current CMOS technology based on experimental results and simulations of Si NC formation. - Preparation Si NC memory capacitors using the developed processes. - Characterization of these devices by suitable techniques. Demonstration of their memory functionality.
