In this work, we have fabricated and characterized a 37.5nm half pitch 3D Vertical Gate (VG) NAND Flash, and successfully modeled the random grain boundary effect using TCAD simulation. In our model, the grain boundary creates interface states, resulting in large local band bending and a surface potential barrier. The gate-induced grain barrier lowering (GIGBL) and drain-induced grain barrier lowering (DIGBL) effects are the major physical mechanisms that affect the subthreshold behavior. By means of modeling, the impact of bit line (BL) and word line (WL) critical dimensions (CD) of the double-gate TFT device is studied extensively, where we find that narrower BL and larger WL CD's are the most critical parameters that provide tight Vt distribution and good memory window. For the first time, we have discovered an asymmetry of reverse read (RR) and forward read (FR) of the TFT device. The physical mechanism can be well explained by the DIGBL. With accurate modeling, the asymmetry of RR and FR can be used to determine the GB trap lateral location and interface trap density.","PeriodicalId":6376,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"1 1","pages":"26.7.1-26.7.4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90661399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hysteresis in ID-VG was observed at elevated temperature (~120°C) due to the traps. To understand the traps, current transient in drain was investigated at given gate and drain pulses with different temperatures. Two groups of time constants were extracted: one is nearly constant and the other is decreased with temperature. Extracted activation energies from the drain current transients with temperature are 0.66 eV and 0.73 eV, respectively, for given gate and drain pulses. Using extracted exponential trap density profile from frequency dependent conductance method [4], we could understand C-V behavior with frequency.
