研究目的
Evaluating amorphous indium–gallium–zinc oxide (a-IGZO) thin-?lm transistor nonvolatile memory devices with an IGZO charge storage layer for multi-level cell memory applications.
研究成果
The a-IGZO TFT memory device with an a-IGZO charge storage layer demonstrated stable multi-level states, superior electrical programmable and erasable characteristics, and good endurance and data retention capability, making it promising for applications in flexible and transparent electronics.
研究不足
The study does not address the long-term stability and scalability of the memory devices for commercial applications. The fabrication process requires precise control over deposition and etching parameters.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the fabrication and evaluation of a-IGZO TFT memory devices with an IGZO charge storage layer for multi-level cell memory applications. The writing mechanism was attributed to Fowler–Nordheim tunneling under positive gate bias and inverse tunneling under negative gate bias.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Highly doped n-type Si (100) wafers were used as starting substrates. The devices were fabricated using atomic layer deposition (ALD) for Al2O3 films and sputtering for a-IGZO layers.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
ALD for Al2O3 films, RF magnetron sputtering for a-IGZO layers, semiconductor device analyzer (Agilent B1500A) for electrical measurements.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The fabrication process included deposition of Al2O3 and a-IGZO layers, photolithography, wet etching, and annealing. Electrical measurements were performed to evaluate the memory characteristics.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The threshold voltage (Vth) was defined and measured to evaluate the memory window and retention characteristics.
