Abstract

The erase and retention characteristics of MONOS, MANOS [1] and BE-SONOS [2] devices are examined in detail in order to determine their mechanisms. The erase transient current (J) is extracted and plotted against the tunnel oxide electric field (E _TUN ). Our results show that the erase speed ranking is BE-SONOS > MANOS > MONOS. The difference in erase speed comes from the different erase mechanisms of these devices. The retention characteristics are also compared and discussed.
