摘要
Operation characteristics of polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) nanowire (NW) charge-trapping (CT) flash memory devices with a SiGe and a Ge buried channel are studied and compared in this work. The poly-Si NW devices with a Ge buried channel show faster programming and erasing speeds as compared to those with a SiGe one due to a lower energy barrier in tunneling layer with more Ge composition. The retention and endurance characteristics of devices with a Ge buried channel are similar to those with a SiGe one. Ge buried channel is promising to CI' flash device for 3D nonvolatile memory applications. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
