摘要
The (60)Co-γ ray total ionizing dose radiation responses of 55-nm silicon-oxide-nitride-oxide-silicon(SONOS) memory cells in pulse mode(programmed/erased with pulse voltage) and dc mode(programmed/erased with direct voltage sweeping) are investigated. The threshold voltage and off-state current of memory cells before and after radiation are measured. The experimental results show that the memory cells in pulse mode have a better radiation-hard capability. The normalized memory window still remains at 60% for cells in dc mode and 76% for cells in pulse mode after 300 krad(Si) radiation. The charge loss process physical mechanisms of programmed SONOS devices during radiation are analyzed.
