Flash Memory Fabricated with Protein-Mediated PbSe Nanocrystal Assembly as Floating Gate

This work is based on our previously developed technique which used chaperonin protein as a template for NC assembly on MOS capacitors. Our study on floating gate flash memory fabricated with protein-mediated PbSe NCs applied to MOS transistors with greatly improved spatial uniformity will be presented in this paper. With these device characteristics, we expect PbSe NCs as floating gate to be promising for flash memories.
