A Nonvolatile Two-Bits SONOS Memory with Vertical Oxide-Nitride-Oxide Stack

Flash memory is one sort of non-volatile memory, focus on the dates holding and capacity. Conventional non-volatile memory applies poly-crystalline for floating gate material, because the poly-crystalline (like poly-silicon) itself is the semiconductor material, will cause leakage problem, recently, Oxide-nitride-oxide multi-layer structure is under development for the place of conventional floating gate. Because it is the insulator material, can suppress leakage current, and it contains a deeper trapping energy level, and has a partial trapped carriers phenomenon to give a multi-bits memory solution.
My effort is to propose a pair of ONO three layers stack, which is located close to the beneath of D/S region and a column like. Such structure can overcome miniaturization limitation of channel length, and a somewhat depth oxide can promise good isolation and separation between the trapping layer and other area, and a reliable distance of the two trapped unit can prevent interference issue.
My proposal can suppose a higher devices density and a feasible and flexible solution to develop memory devices, a cost down to be more competitive, certainly bring much favor for the future improvement.
