摘要

利用瞬态电流陷阱光谱技术研究了三维 NAND 闪存带隙工程隧道氧化物（BE-TOX）层中的陷阱剖面。研究采用了一种新的脉冲方案来产生沟道空穴，然后分析 BE-TOX 层中的空穴陷阱。在新电池中，空穴陷阱主要位于 1.1 eV 的陷阱能级 (ET)，而电子陷阱则在 ET = 0.75 和 1.25 eV 处显示出两个明显的峰值。随着编程/擦除（P/E）循环操作的增加，与空穴阱相关的峰值 ET 向更浅的水平移动。相反，电子陷阱保持不变，但其强度有所增加。提取的陷阱生成呈现出幂律特性。

Impact of Electron and Hole Trap Profiles in BE-TOX on Retention Characteristics of 3D NAND Flash Memory

Trap profiles in the bandgap-engineered tunneling oxide (BE-TOX) layer of a 3D NAND flash memory were investigated using a transient current trap spectroscopy technique. A new pulse scheme was introduced to generate channel holes and subsequently analyze the hole traps in the BE-TOX layer. In the fresh cell, the hole traps were primarily located at a trap energy level ( E_T ) of 1.1 eV, whereas the electron traps exhibited two distinct peaks at E_T = 0.75 and 1.25 eV. With increasing program/erase (P/E) cycling operations, the peak E_T associated with hole traps shifted toward shallower levels. Conversely, the electron traps remained unchanged, although their intensities increased. The extracted trap generation exhibited the power-law characteristics.
