2HfAlO, or other has the material of similarity, with nano-graphene constitute jointly the multiple-level stack structure (nano-graphene/dielectric material/... / nano-graphene/dielectric material); The thin layer of dielectric material thickness that inserts is about the 0.5-5 nanometer, and position and number can according to circumstances be adjusted.This is a big advantage of nano-graphene floating boom, can directly not have the catalysis controllable growth on the substrate arbitrarily, thus the combination property that can utilize different tunneling medium layer of compatible technology direct regulation and control and electric charge capture layer to come optimised devices.
Prepared the nano-graphene floating gate type nonvolatile memory shown in Fig. 3 a in the specific embodiment of the invention, substrate is p type Si, and tunnel layer is SiO
2, form by thermal oxidation method.Accumulation layer is a nano-graphene, and by the preparation of plasma-reinforced chemical sedimentation, height is the thickness of single-layer graphene about the 0.4-0.7 nanometer, and size is about the 6-8 nanometer, and density is greater than 1X10

3Constitute, thickness is 15 nanometers, is formed by atom layer deposition process.Electrode material is Al, and the electron beam evaporation deposition preparation is arranged.The band structure figure of this device correspondence is shown in Fig. 3 b.In order to contrast the performance of nano-graphene floating gate type nonvolatile memory, in specific embodiment, also prepared the device of contrasting of traditional individual layer accumulation layer capacitance structure, material preparation process is all identical.
Fig. 4 is the raman scattering spectrum of nano-graphene floating boom before and after device high temperature (1000 ° of C) annealing in process in the specific embodiment of the invention, by its typical characteristic peak G (1592cm
-1) can know that nano-graphene has fabulous heat-resisting quantity and chemical stability, does not spread the annealing back, does not have and medium oxide layer generation chemical reaction yet.
Fig. 5 be in the specific embodiment of the invention nano-graphene floating gate type nonvolatile memory structure and legacy memory according to the operating voltage and the memory window test result comparison diagram of structure.Because nano-graphene has the high density of states and metal edge attitude, discrete nano-graphene floating-gate memory just obtained under the scanning voltage of ± 8V ~ memory window of 4.5V, corresponding contrasts the effect that structure then almost can't see storage.Therefore, discrete nano-graphene floating gate type nonvolatile memory has been realized the big memory window under low voltage operated.
Fig. 6 is through the modulation of nano-graphene density and size being optimized the charge storage capacity of nano-graphene floating gate type nonvolatile memory structure in the specific embodiment of the invention.Can know size more little (6 ~ 8 nanometer), the high more (> of saturated density by Fig. 6; 1X10
11Cm
2) the storage capacity of nano-graphene floating boom the strongest.This be because; Nano-graphene is a semimetal character; Its Bohr radius is that 0.74 nanometer is (with the same magnitude of metal; Bohr radius like Au is 0.5 nanometer), the quantum size restriction effect that therefore has a strong impact on semiconductor nano (Bohr radius of Si is 11 nanometers) storage characteristics is also not obvious for the influence of the nano-graphene below 10 nanometers.Add that nano-graphene has metallic zigzag marginality; Its size is more little; The effect of marginality is obvious more; Even therefore the size of nano-graphene still has fabulous charge storage (depositing ~ 20 electronics like the single nano-graphene average energy that is of a size of 6 nanometers) below 10 nanometers, be superior to unidimensional metallic nano crystal.It is integrated that these characteristics of nano-graphene can be used for the microminiaturized high-density storage of nanometer.
Fig. 7 is through the modulation of tunnel layer band structure being optimized the data retention characteristics of nano-graphene floating gate type nonvolatile memory structure in the specific embodiment of the invention.The general requirement of nonvolatile storage has the hold facility more than 10 years, and this just means the electric charge necessary < 50% of its loss.The intrinsic mechanism of loss of charge mechanism mainly comprises thermionic emission (Schottky emission), Frenkel-Poole emission, FN tunnelling, direct Tunneling etc.Since the work function of nano-graphene very big (~ 4.8eV); So the potential barrier between nano-graphene and the tunnelling medium silica is big (shown in Fig. 3 b); General in addition in data maintenance process the electric field in the tunneling medium layer very a little less than; Be difficult to reach the FN tunnelling, therefore the leakage mechanism in electric charge maintenance process mainly is direct Tunneling.Can know that by Fig. 7 the silica that utilizes shown in Fig. 3 a is loss 44% in 10 years as its retention performance of nano-graphene floating-gate memory of tunnel layer.If utilize high k material such as HfO
2Be used as tunneling medium layer, then the charge-retention property of device can be greatly improved (10 years loss 28%).This is because the energy barrier height at the nano-graphene of high work function and high k material interface place increases on the one hand, has reduced the probability of direct Tunneling; High on the other hand k material has bigger dielectric constant, thereby has further reduced the electric field of tunneling medium layer in the electric charge maintenance process, has improved the retention performance of device.
Fig. 8 characterizes the nanometer scale storage characteristics of nano-graphene floating boom for utilizing scanning Kelvin probe microscope in the instantiation of the present invention.The a point is a programmed state among the figure, and the b point is an erase state, is depicted as the storage array of a 10X10, injecting voltage is+and 2V (electronics)/-2V (hole), each memory cell is the 500X500 nanometer
2, spacing is 500 nanometers, can find out that the nano-graphene floating boom in this specific embodiment has the discreteness and the uniformity of extremely strong charge storage and height, the high-density storage that can be used for nanometer scale fully is integrated.
By on can know, in an embodiment of the present invention,, realized that a kind of novel low energy consumption high-performance is thermally-stabilised and can be used for the microminiaturized integrated nano-graphene floating boom flash memory of high density nanometer through introducing the nano-graphene floating boom of discrete.Density, size and the design multiple-level stack structure of this scheme through effectively controlling nano-graphene can be optimized CHARGE DISTRIBUTION and memory capacity.Simultaneously,, can improve data retention characteristics, realize the high reliability operation of device through regulating the band structure of tunneling medium layer.The material preparation of the present invention-discrete nano-graphene floating-gate memory and device manufacturing process and conventional silicon planar CMOS process compatible, with low cost, be beneficial to wide industrial and use.
