Modeling Strategies for Flash Memory Devices

Padovani A., Larcher L., Pavan P., Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia, IT

Flash memories are one of the most pervasive components of today electronic systems. The continuous scaling of the memory device opened new issues with regards to sensitivity of the cell threshold voltage to degradation mechanisms [...]

A New Analytical Model of Channel Hot Electron (CHE) and CHannel Initiated Secondary ELectron (CHISEL) Current Suitable for Compact Modeling

Larcher L., Pavan P., Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia, IT

This paper presents for the first time a new approach to hot-carrier phenomena leading to an analytical model of both Channel Hot Electron (CHE) and CHannel Initiated Secondary ELectron (CHISEL) currents. This model can be [...]
