In this work we investigate the correlation between hydrogen content and leakage current through the Al2O3 layers of TANOS memories. We put in evidence that retention of TANOS memories is improved with the decrease of H concentration in the Al2O3 layer. Using atomistic simulations consolidated by detailed Al2O3 physico-chemical analyses, we find that interstitial H produces a midgap trap likely to participate to trap assisted conduction.

Abstract

In this work we investigate the correlation between hydrogen content and leakage current through the Al2O3 layers of TANOS memories. We put in evidence that retention of TANOS memories is improved with the decrease of H concentration in the Al2O3 layer. Using atomistic simulations consolidated by detailed Al2O3 physico-chemical analyses, we find that interstitial H produces a midgap trap likely to participate to trap assisted conduction.
