Electrical Characteristics of Staggered Capacitor ($Si_3N_4$ / HfAlO) for High Performance of Non-volatile Memory

To improve the programming/erasing speed and leakage current of multiple dielectric stack tunnel barrier engineering (TBE) Non-volatile memory, We propose a new concept called staggered structure of TBE memory. In this study, We fabricated staggered structure capacitor on $Si_3N_4$ stacked HfAlO and measured C-V curve that can observe tunneling characteristic of this device as various annealing temperature compared with that of single layer $SiO_2$ capacitor.
