Abstract

A single electron memory cell is fabricated using SiGe nanocrystal array and multilevel programming characteristics due to the Coulomb blockade effect. Time-resolved programming characteristics showed a collective behavior in which electrons are charged one-by-one per nanocrystal. Reduction of tunneling rate in the course of the programming process is explained by an interaction due to capacitive coupling among closely spaced nanocrystals.
