  • Abstract
    The effect of post poly-Si N/sub 2/O annealing on the programming performance and reliability of split-gate source-side-injection EEPROM/flash memory cells has been investigated. It is found that by employing post-poly-Si gate N/sub 2/O annealing, the programming efficiency and the immunity to program disturbances can be significantly improved.
