Manipulation of 2D arrays of Si nanocrystals by ultra-low-energy ion beam-synthesis for nonvolatile memories applications
In silicon nanocrystal (nc) based metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) memory structures a fine control of the Si nc location in the gate oxide is required for the pinpointing of optimal device architectures. In th...
