    摘要: A memory device, which includes a memory layer having quantum dots uniformly dispersed in organic material disposed between an upper electrode layer and a lower electrode layer. The memory device is advantageous because it is nonvolatile and inexpensive, and realizes high integration and high speed switching. Further, size and distribution of the quantum dots may be uniform, thus realizing uniform memory behavior. Furthermore, the memory device is suitable for application to portable electronic devices that must have low power consumption, due to low operating voltages thereof.

    摘要: A nanocrystal silicon (Si) quantum dot memory device and associated fabrication method have been provided. The method comprises: forming a gate (tunnel) oxide layer overlying a Si substrate active layer; forming a nanocrystal Si memory film overlying the gate oxide layer, including a polycrystalline Si (poly-Si)/Si dioxide stack; forming a control Si oxide layer overlying the nanocrystal Si memory film; forming a gate electrode overlying the control oxide layer; and, forming source/drain regions in the Si active layer. In one aspect, the nanocrystal Si memory film is formed by depositing a layer of amorphous Si (a-Si) using a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, and thermally oxidizing a portion of the a-Si layer. Typically, the a-Si deposition and oxidation processes are repeated, forming a plurality of poly-Si/Si dioxide stacks (i.e., 2 to 5 poly-Si/Si dioxide stacks).
