This paper presents the theory, fabrication and experimental testing results for a multiple state Non-Volatile Memory (NVM), comprised of hafnium oxide high-k dielectric tunnel and gate barriers as well as a Silicon Quantum Dot Superlattice (QDSL) implemented for the floating gate and inversion channel (QDG) and (QDC) respectively. With the conclusion of Moore’s Law for conventional transistor fabrication, regarding the minimum gate size, current efforts in memory cell research and development are focused on bridging the gap between the conventions of the past sixty years and the future of computing. One method of continuing the increasing chip density is to create multistate devices capable of storing and processing additional logic states beyond 1 and 0. Replacing the silicon nitride floating gate of a conventional Flash NVM with QDSL gives rise to minibands that result in greater control over charge levels stored in the QDG and additional intermediate states. Utilizing Hot Carrier Injection (HCI) programming, for the realized device, various magnitudes of gate voltage pulses demonstrated the ability to accurately control the charge levels stored in the QDG. This corresponds to multiple threshold voltage shifts allowing detection of multiple states during read operations.

We report on a bottom-up manufacturing for high-k dielectric films using a novel nanomaterial, namely, a perovskite nanosheet (LaNb2O7) derived from a layered perovskite by exfoliation. Solution-based layer-by-layer assembly of perovskite nanosheets is effective for room-temperature fabrication of high-k nanocapacitors, which are directly assembled on a SrRuO3 bottom electrode with an atomically sharp interface. These nanocapacitors exhibit high dielectric constants (k > 50) for thickness down to 5 nm while eliminating problems resulting from the size effect. We also investigate dielectric properties of perovskite nanosheets with different compositions (LaNb2O7, La0.95Eu0.05Nb2O7, and Eu0.56Ta2O7) in order to study the influence of A- and B-site modifications on dielectric properties.

In this work, we synthesize Hafnium (IV) oxide (HfO2) ink from hafnium chloride (HfCl4) powder assisted with deionized water. The poly acrylic acid (PAA) is used as surfactant to decrease the surface tension. Conversion of HfCl4 into HfO2 was detected by Raman spectroscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) characterization techniques. This proposed ink can be easily synthesized at a low temperature. Using the synthesis ink, a liquid capacitor is proposed, which is tested for electrochemical analysis. Indium tin oxide (ITO) coated PET is used as bottom and top current collector electrode, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) mold is used as separator, and HfO2 ink is used as aqueous electrolyte. Liquid capacitor is also tested on different bending diameters using bending machine from flat down to 10 mm bending curvature, which shows a stable capacitor function.
