Abstract:
Memory cells programmed via multi-mechanism charge transports are described herein. An example apparatus includes a semiconductor material, a tunneling material formed on the semiconductor material, a charge trapping material formed on the tunneling material, a charge blocking material formed on the charge trapping material, and a metal gate formed on the charge blocking material. The charge trapping material comprises gallium nitride (GaN), and the memory cell is programmed to the target state via the multi-mechanism charge transport such that charges are simultaneously transported to the charge trapping material through a plurality of different channels.
