Ta2O5-TiO2 Composite Charge-trapping Dielectric for the Application of the Nonvolatile Memory
Abstract The charge-trapping memory devices with a structure Pt/Al2O3/(Ta2O5) x (TiO2) 1−x /Al2O3/p-Si (x = 0.9, 0.75, 0.5, 0.25) were fabricated by using rf-sputtering and atomic layer deposition techniques. A special band alignment between (Ta2O5) x (TiO2) 1−x and Si substrate was designed to enha...
