We have developed a metal-oxide-nitride-oxide-semiconductor (MONOS) memory device with one-side halo implantation, in which programming and erasing are performed by channel-hot-electron injection and hot-hole injection, respectively. This MONOS memory has a simple structure and is fabricated through the conventional complementary metal-oxidesemiconductor (CMOS) process before the specific process for the memory device. A threshold voltage shift of more than 3.0 V, obtained through a programming operation, results in a threshold voltage greater than the programming gate voltage and is sufficient to enable the 10-year lifetime of this device.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
