Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The impact of an in-situ nitrogen and phosphorus co-doped amorphous silicon as a scalable floating gate material for future flash memories is discussed. An oxidation-resistant surface with a homogeneous and smooth texture of the crystallized in-situ nitrogen and phosphorus co-doped amorphous silicon improves the reliability of the interpoly CVD-SiO_2 dielectric remarkably. The tunnel oxide at the edge of the floating gate is immune from the loss of the reliability because little loss of the gate dimension, achieved by the oxidation-resistant feature, secures an enough floating gate area overlapping with the source as designed. The in-situ nitrogen and phosphorus co-doped a-Si is a promising floating gate material that can well function in the scaled-down flash memory.
