Abstract: | In this study, we proposed the Al/Al2O3/SmAlO3/SiO2/Si flash memory devices using high-k SmAlO3 film as a charge trapping layer and high-k Al2O3 film as a blocking layer. The structural and morphological features of these films were explored by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic and atomic force microscopy. The SmAlO3 flash memory devices annealed at 800 °C showed excellent electrical properties, such as a large memory window of ~2.61 V (measured at a sweep voltage range of ±5 V) and a small charge loss of ~7.1% (measured time up to 104 s). In addition, the charge trap centroid and charge trap density were extracted by constant current stress method. |
