Abstract
The aim of this paper is to study, the NH 3 plasma technique to improve the charge programming speed and retention time for the SiO 2 /Si x Ge 1-x /SiO 2 tri-layer memory devices. The modulated tunnel oxide energy band gap near Si x Ge 1-x /TO interface is suitable for enhancing the programming and charge retention performance.
