摘要
Replacing the tunnel oxide of non-volatile memories by a high-k dielectric is addressed in this paper. This work reports in its first part an experimental study of conduction and trapping in Al2O3 layers. The experimental data of these layers is then integrated in a novel endurance model suitable for flash memories with high-k tunnel oxide. Simulation results show that low (+8/-7V) operating voltages can be used to obtain large threshold voltage shifts, and despite a great amount of trapped negative charges (several 10(12)/CM,), the programming window isn't closed after 10(7) write/erase (W/E) cycles.
