Abstract
Ultrathin InP passivated GaAs non-volatile memory devices were fabricated with chemically synthesized 5 nm ZnO quantum dots embedded into ZrO2 high-k oxide matrix deposited through metal organic chemical vapor deposition. In these memory devices, the memory window was found to be 6.10 V and the obtained charge loss was only 15.20% after 105 s. The superior retention characteristics and a wide memory window are achieved due to presence of ZnO quantum dots between tunneling and control oxide layers. Room temperature Coulomb blockade effect was found in these devices and it was ascertained to be the main reason for low leakage. Electronic band diagram with program and erase operations were described on the basis of electrical characterizations.
