SiGe-Surrounded Bitline Structure for Enhancing 3D NAND Flash Erase Speed by Dohyun Kim, Wonbo Shim

“…In the case of a SiGe thickness (t_SiGe) of 13 nm, the lower bandgap of SiGe increases the BTBT generation rate, boosting the channel potential rise at the end of the erase voltage ramp-up by 861% compared to the Si-only structure, while limiting the reduction in read on-current to within 4%. We modeled the voltage and electric field across the SiGe layer, as well as BTBT generation rate and GIDL current in the SiGe layer, by varying t_SiGe, Ge composition ratio (SiGe_X), and the voltage difference between V_BL and V_{GIDL_TR}.…”
