Fluorine (F) implantation with different dose post gate oxidation is used for investigating the performance of saddle-fin (S-Fin) array devices including gate-induced drain leakage (GIDL) and retention fail bit counts. Significantly lower retention fail counts of 35% were achieved in using a medium dosage of F implantation. Additional 18% retention fail count reduction was represented by F implantation with A degree tilt angle and 2X keV of energy. Trap passivation by F atoms in the source and the drain areas (S/D) could lead to the improvements.
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.
