the 3rd silica 125 for example for
Figure GSB00000713583100065
See also Fig. 3; This is that outer being biased of the SONOS device in the SONOS memory cell all is zero; And all storage mediums (like silicon nitride 122, silicon oxynitride 124, polysilicon gate 141 etc.) are not when obtaining external charge, the SONOS device can be with sketch map.Usually, the energy gap of silicon is about 1.1, and the energy gap of silica is about 8.1~9, and the energy gap of silicon nitride is about 3.9~4, and the energy gap of silicon oxynitride is about 5~6.5 between silica and silicon nitride.The doping type of various materials, doping content will have considerable influence to its energy gap, and therefore the energy gap (being the height of layers of material in vertical direction) of layers of material shown in Figure 3 is merely signal.
See also Fig. 4, this is that the polysilicon gate 141 of working as the SONOS device in the SONOS memory cell adds positive voltage VP1, in the time of all the other ends (source drain terminal 17, trap end 10) ground connection, and the band curvature sketch map of SONOS device.The electric field that add this moment makes the conduction band height N1 near the light doping section 11 (silicon) of first silica, 121 those sides be higher than the conduction band height N2 near first silica 121 of silicon nitride 122 those sides; Electron production F-N tunnelling is passed through first silica 121 from silicon and is arrived silicon nitride 122.Because the thickness of second silica 123 is greater than the thickness of first silica 121; The extra electric field of this moment is not enough so that near the conduction band height N3 of the silicon nitride 122 of second silica, 123 those sides greater than conduction band height N4 near second silica 123 of silicon oxynitride 124 those sides, so the electric charge in the silicon nitride 122 can't arrive silicon oxynitride 124.Again since the thickness of the 3rd silica 125 greater than the thickness of second silica 123; The extra electric field of this moment is also not enough so that near the conduction band height N5 of the silicon oxynitride 124 of the 3rd silica 125 those sides greater than conduction band height N6 near the 3rd silica 125 of polysilicon gate 141 those sides, so the electric charge in the silicon oxynitride 124 also can't arrive polysilicon gate 141.This wiring method be with storage in silicon nitride 122, it is lower that integral body writes voltage VP1, tunnel oxide is that silica 121 one decks are thinner, data can write fast, are applicable to that the high-speed high capacity data write.
See also Fig. 5, this is that the polysilicon gate 141 of working as the SONOS device in the SONOS memory cell adds positive voltage VP2, in the time of all the other ends (source drain terminal 17, trap end 10) ground connection, and the band curvature sketch map of SONOS device.Obvious VP2>VP1.The electric field that add this moment makes the conduction band height N1 near the light doping section 11 (silicon) of first silica, 121 those sides be higher than the conduction band height N2 near first silica 121 of silicon nitride 122 those sides; Electron production F-N tunnelling is passed through first silica 121 from silicon and is arrived silicon nitride 122.The extra electric field of this moment also makes near the conduction band height N3 of the silicon nitride 122 of second silica, 123 those sides greater than the conduction band height N4 near second silica 123 of silicon oxynitride 124 those sides; Therefore the electric charge in the silicon nitride 122 is not stored; But produce the F-N tunnelling once more, pass through second silica 123 from silicon nitride 122 and arrive silicon oxynitride 124.In other words, electronics directly passes through first silica 121, silicon nitride 122, second silica 123 from silicon and arrives silicon oxynitrides 124.Because the thickness of the 3rd silica 125 is greater than the thickness of second silica 123; The extra electric field of this moment is not enough so that near the conduction band height N5 of the silicon oxynitride 124 of the 3rd silica 125 those sides greater than conduction band height N6 near second silica 125 of polysilicon gate 141 those sides, so the electric charge in the silicon oxynitride 124 can't arrive polysilicon gate 141.This wiring method is that data all are stored in the silicon oxynitride 124; It is higher that integral body writes voltage VP2; Tunnel oxide be first silica 121, silicon nitride 122 and second silica 123 totally three layers thicker; Data remain on that to lose probability in the silicon oxynitride relatively low, and device durability and data holding ability are high, are applicable to that the data of high-durability and high data retention ability write.
Need to prove silicon, silica, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride (SiO xN yX, y are natural number) the conduction band height when band curvature, receive the influence (silicon oxynitride also receives the wherein influence of nitrogen, oxygen ratio) of its doping type, doping content, thickness, therefore be difficult to the conduction band height and the applied voltage size of layers of material are provided concrete numerical value or number range.
In sum, the invention provides memory cell and the method for operation thereof of a kind of SONOS, in the less storage that writes under the voltage VP1 in the silicon nitride 122 of ONONO layer 12 ', to satisfy the high-speed data storage demand than the below; In the bigger storage that writes under the voltage VP2 in the silicon oxynitride 124 of ONONO layer 12 ', to satisfy the high reliability data storage demand than the top.
