Abstract :
A dual floating gate transistor offers potential as a unified memory, with simultaneous volatile and non-volatile storage. The quality of the dielectric between the two floating gates is critical to achieving the required dynamic cycle endurance. This paper reports on the results of early experiments into the material choice and process for this dielectric.
