摘要：
In this work, we report on the findings of the effects of different ambient on memory characteristics of a floating gate memory structure containing HfAlO control gate, self-organized Au nanoclusters (NCs), and a HfAlO tunnel layer deposited by the pulsed-laser deposition. The optimized fabrication environment has been found and stored charge density up to 10(13) cm(-2) has been achieved. As the sizes of the Au NCs are smaller than 4 nm, they may be potentially used in multilayer-structured multi-bit memory cell. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
