Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel non-volatile memory (NVM) with a Hf xGdyOz trapping layer prepared by RF dual sputtering for the first time. A higher programming/erasing (P/E) speed and a longer data retention time can be obtained owing to improved trapping ability of HfGdO. Furthermore, in situ RF dual sputtering of HfxGd yOz MHHHS (metal/HfO2/HfxGd yOz/HfO2/Si) is a promising technology for future NVM because of its simplicity and its material compatibility in the semiconductor industry.
