Abstract(in English) | Degradation of the retention characteristics induced by hole injection during the white/erase (W/E) operation has been investigated. When gigy source voltage is appolied in the W/E operation, large number of hot holes are generated due to band-to-band tunneling (BTBT), and some of them are injected into the tunnel oxides. Hole injection has been reported to increase stress induced leakage currents (SILC), and the increase in the SILC will accelerate the degradation of retention characteristics. In this wolk, we have estimated the degradation of the retention characteristics from the defference in oxide charge traps that are induced by hole injection. Employing a hole-induced trap generation model, the dependence of the retention characteristics on the source voltage and the oxide electric field at the W/E operation has been successfully explained. |
