随着45nm和32nm技术节点的来临,传统Si3N4作为电荷俘获存储器的俘获层已经使器件的性能受到了限制。指出采用高k材料代替Si3N4作为俘获层已成为目前微电子材料研究的热点和趋势;着重对电荷俘获存储器的俘获层,包括对Si3N4掺O的无定形氧氮化硅(α-SiOxNy)俘获层、高k介质材料俘获层、植入纳米晶材料的俘获层及其叠层结构的研究现状和存在的问题进行了综述和分析,并对其进一步的研究趋势进行了展望。
With the coming of 45 nm and 32 nm technology node, the performance of the devices with the conventional Si3N4 charge trapping layer is limited. The substitution of high-k materials for Si3N4 as charge trapping layer has become the research topic and tendency in the area of microelectronics at present. Research status and present problem of the charge trapping layer in the charge trapping memory are summarized and analyzed, including Si3N4 dopped O (a-SiOxNy), high-k materials, embedded nanocrystal materials and multistacked structure. And the further research tendency is prospected.
