Tóm tắt

Capacitors using thin oxynitride films as dielectric layer were fabricated. I-V measurements and constant current stressing to the samples of oxynitride capacitors were done. C-V measurements to the samples were also carried out. By applying constant current stressing to the samples, characteristics of oxynitride samples after stressing could be observed. The stressing current to the samples could be thought as continuous usage current to a non-volatile memory device. The results in this paper revealed the effect of the charge trapping of a non-volatile memory device.
