Abstract

We demonstrate for the first time a fluorine incorporated band- engineered (BE) tunnel oxide (SiO2/HfSiO/SiO2) TANOS with excellent program / erase (P/E) characteristics and endurance to 105 cycles. Incorporating fluorine in the tunnel dielectric improves Si/SiO2 interface resulting in excellent endurance of nearly constant over 3 V P/E window for at least 105 cycles. Fluorine also reduces interface state generation during retention by ~20%. Furthermore, Fluorine passivates bulk traps leading to as much as ~10times higher charge to breakdown (Qbd) and ~10-50times lower interface state density (Dit). Fluorine passivation for BE-TANOS is significant because it improves reliability assisting implementation of TANOS flash NVM beyond the 20 nm node.
